Reno
Reno is a stream of consciousness style solo comedic performer living in New York City. Her evening length shows have had several runs Off-Broadway, both commercially and at non-profit venues and tour regularly to the leading regional theaters, museums and performance spaces. She adapted her show Reno in Rage and Rehab into an ACE Award nominated ("Best Writing for an Entertainment Special") HBO comedy hour. Her show, Reno Once Removed was commissioned by Lincoln Center for their Serious Fun Festival and sold out with rave reviews. It subsequently moved to the Joseph Papp Public Theater and continued on around the country. She has made other, short-form tragi-comic "essays" for various outlets such as PBS, VH-1, Comedy Central and National Public Radio, and occasionally contributes written articles to magazines, such as MS.
The HBO film, Reno Finds Her Mom, follows Reno through her real life search to find the birth mother who abandoned her as an infant.
