Want to try your hand at acting, working back stage or anything theater related? Give it a go at the auditions for Neil Simon’s comedy “Last of the Red Hot Lovers” which will be directed by Denis Feehan.

A representative from the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension’s Nevada Radon Education Program will give a radon presentation. Attendees will learn about the health risk of radon, how to test for the gas and what can be done to reduce an elevated level in a home, which lowers residents’ risk of developing lung cancer. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive a FREE radon test kit at this event. For more information call 1-888-RADON10, (1-888-723-6610) or email noeln@unce.unr.edu.
