Event Date:  September 21, 2024 - 11:00am A day of free family fun for the community is planned in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Bob Boldrick Theater located at the Carson City Community Center. The block party will begin on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, at 11 a.m. with free activities and games for the whole family all around the Community Center, including face painting, temporary tattoos, cornhole, bubbles, a puppet-making craft; hands-on learning experiences hosted by local groups, food trucks and more. If you’ve ever wanted to see the inner workings of the sound and light booths or where the magic happens backstage, check out the backstage tours beginning every hour on the hour. Bring your pocketbook if you’re feeling lucky — the Foundation for Carson City Parks and Recreation nonprofit will be selling raffle tickets for $1, with all proceeds going toward theater equipment for the Bob Boldrick Theater. The Blue Thunder Marching Band will signal that the block party is wrapping up, and it’s time to head inside for a free performance on the stage! The showcase performance at 2 p.m. will feature short snippets of music ensembles, dance troupes, and children’s musical theatre, emceed by local favorite Ben Spence and none other than Miss Nevada, Karrina Ferris, who is no stranger to this stage! All activities and performances are free. Art, food, raffle tickets, and other goodies will be available for purchase.
