Mark Twain Days | Ribbon Cutting Mark Twain Reading Room | Nevada State Library | Thursday | October 16th 2025 | FREE
2025-10-16 16:00 - 17:00 | Nevada State Library, Achives, and Public Records, 100 North Stewart Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89701
The Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records holds one of the most significant Twain collections in the western United States, as noted by several Twain scholars. The new Mark Twain Reading Room was created to showcase this collection alongside works by other Sagebrush School authors, including Dan DeQuille and Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. The library will also feature access to Twain digital collections on the library’s website, as well as microfilm of the Territorial Enterprise — the leading Virginia City newspaper where Twain served as a correspondent for three years.
This event is FREE to the public.

The Nevada State Archives serves as the institutional memory of state government by preserving and providing access to original records that document the history of Nevada’s government. The State Library offers unique resources to Nevada’s citizens, libraries, local governments, state agencies, and businesses. These resources include a full range of information and reference services; library planning and development; and services designed for citizens with disabilities.
History:
The Nevada State Library, and its predecessor, the Territorial Library, has existed since the earliest days of Nevada’s political organization. In 1861 the Territorial Legislature created the office of the Territorial Librarian, which was filled, ex officio by the Territorial Auditor. As the Territory matured into statehood, the office and responsibilities of the Territorial Librarian also grew, and it was not until 1915 that a full-time librarian was deemed necessary.
Throughout the remainder of the 20th century, the Nevada State Library saw its duties and statutory roles evolve in accompaniment with Nevada’s growth; creating the Division of Archives in 1965, establishing the Nevada Center for Cooperative Library Services in 1967, splitting from the Nevada Supreme Court services in 1971 (allowing the Supreme Court Law Library to further expand and enhance its services), creating a State Publication Distribution Center in 1971, incorporating a regional library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in 1983, establishing the Records Management program in 1983, and transferring Imaging and Preservation services from the State Printing Office to Archives & Records in 1997. The Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records continues to serve as the primary repository for the State of Nevada, as well as an unparalleled resource for Nevadans.

𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐡 𝐊𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
Directed by Amelia Gotham

In Joseph Kesselring’s classic dark comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace,” we are introduced to Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic who stumbles upon a chilling revelation: his endearing aunts, Abby and Martha, have been engaging in acts of mercy by poisoning lonely elderly men. This shocking discovery thrusts Mortimer into a chaotic struggle to shield his charming yet misguided aunts from the law, all while navigating the eccentricities of his family, including the menacing criminal Jonathan and Teddy, who fervently believes he is former President Theodore Roosevelt.

The play’s farcical elements are brilliantly accentuated through Mortimer’s comedic encounters with an inept police department and his persistently oblivious fiancé, whose refusal to be sidelined adds to the comedic tumult. Kesselring artfully weaves slapstick humor with an underlying suspense, delving into themes of insanity, familial loyalty, and the absurdity of existence. With its array of colorful characters, unexpected twists, and sharp dialogue, “Arsenic and Old Lace” has secured its status as a beloved cornerstone of American theater, continually captivating audiences with its delightful blend of humor and chaos.

Mark Twain Days | Mark Twain and Julia Bulette: Together Again | Friday | October 17th 2025
2025-10-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. Clemens was praised as the greatest humorist the United States has produced, with William Faulkner calling him “the father of American literature”. Twain’s novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as well as Roughing It.

After thirty-five years of school lectures and performances across the globe, McAvoy Layne retired from performing as Mark Twain in 2023, however he continues to find reasons to dust off the white suit for a good cause and a good time.

Julia C. Bulette was perhaps Virginia City’s most infamous “working girl”, as well as a cherished member of Virginia Company #1’s volunteer fire department. In her own words, Julia will share with her audience, a world so often misunderstood, with dignity and insight. She will tell of her most exciting life in which she was welcomed at society venues such as Maguire’s Opera House, yet shunned on the street by the local women citizens. And, she will recount her scandalous murder and what became of the man blamed for it.

Kim Harris is an accomplished Chautauquan who has portrayed living history characters at various venues including Genoa Western Heritage Days, Pipers Opera House, the Gold Hill Hotel, the Odeon Saloon, Dangberg Historic Park and The Lake Tahoe Chautauqua Festival. Harris currently serves as Events and Education Manager at Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Minden, NV, and is the owner and operator of Western History ALIVE! where she portrays several Chautauqua characters including Calamity Jane, Lizzie Borden and Libbie Bacon Custer.

2025-10-17 19:30 - 22:00 | Nashville Social Club, 1105 South Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89701
From international tours and Grammy nominations to a surprise lockdown in their family home — the Tin Drum Family Band was born out of a moment no one saw coming. When Covid struck, music legends Burleigh Sr., Mary Harris, and their children Sierra and Burleigh Jr. unexpectedly found themselves under one roof for over two years. What started as a family wedding turned into the creation of something profound: a band, an album, and a legacy.
Out of love, loss, and deep connection came “Emerson Street” — an album filled with heart, harmony, and healing, named after the home that held it all together. ❤️🏡🎶
🌟 Meet the Band: 🌟
🪘 Burleigh Drummond Sr.A founding member of Ambrosia (5 Grammy noms, 5 Top Ten singles), Burleigh has toured, recorded, and produced with artists like Alan Parsons, Michael McDonald, Edgar Winter, Al Stewart, Firefall, Player, and more. He’s a master drummer, composer, and engineer — but his favorite gig? Playing with his wife, daughter, and son in Tin Drum Family Band. 🥁🎤
🎹 Mary HarrisA powerhouse vocalist, arranger, and keyboardist, Mary has lent her talents to Pink Floyd, Jimmy Buffett, Carole King, Michael McDonald, Animal Logic (with Stewart Copeland and Stanley Clarke), and many more. As co-creator of Tin Drum (with three albums under their belt), she’s also helped shape generations of young musicians — including her own kids. 💫🎹
🎙️ Sierra R. DrummondSinger-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and lyrical soul. With influences like Tracy Chapman, Bonnie Raitt, Lauryn Hill, and her own musical parents, Sierra blends indie folk, R&B, and blues into an authentic, emotional sound. After a long recovery from a vocal injury, she’s back — and her voice has never been stronger. 🧡🎸🎤
🌍 Burleigh M. Drummond Jr.A globally inspired drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Burleigh Jr. brings rhythm from around the world — India, Africa, Latin America — to the front porch of American roots music. He’s toured, recorded, and studied extensively, but his most meaningful work comes from collaborating with his family and sharing music that connects us all. 🥁🌎🎶
Also featuring musical guests David Harris, John Wood, Marc Bonilla, and Devon Geyer, the Tin Drum Family Band is more than a band — it’s a living, breathing, musical memoir.
🎤 Come experience the joy, the heartbreak, and the magic of Emerson Street — live!
✨ A night of original music, rich harmonies, and deep family roots. You’ll laugh, cry, and leave inspired.

Led by Madame Curry & her Spirit Wranglers, tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the tour. Tickets are limited to 40 people for each tour. Reserve tickets through www.carsoncityghostwalk.com.

Michael Branch – University Foundation Professor, Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno
The never-before-told story of the horned rabbit—the myths, the hoaxes, the very real scientific breakthrough it inspired—and how it became a cultural touchstone of the American West.
Just what is a jackalope? Purported to be part jackrabbit and part antelope, the jackalope began as a local joke concocted by two young brothers in a small Wyoming town during the Great Depression. Their creation quickly spread around the U.S., where it now regularly appears as innumerable forms of kitsch—wall mounts, postcards, keychains, coffee mugs, shot glasses, and so on. A vast body of folk narratives has carried the jackalope’s fame around the world to inspire art, music, film, even erotica!

Hello! My name is Brad McMullen and I’m the new Folklife Specialist at the Nevada Arts Council. It’s my job to support the folk and traditional arts in the state of Nevada. Now normally when I introduce myself that way, I tend to get some blank stares, because people aren’t always familiar with what the phrases “folklife” or “folk and traditional arts” means. So rather than sit here and ramble on about my credentials or what I’m planning to do in the position, why don’t I start by explaining some terms.
Join Brad and learn about folklore is, and what it means in Nevada.
