RENO FINDS HER MOM follows oddball comedian and political screamer Reno through her real life search to find the birth mother who abandoned her as an infant. The camera follows Reno out onto the streets, into the halls of bureaucracy, across the country - or wherever the trail may lead - en route to solving the mystery of her birth. As a docu-comedy, the program uses a raw cinema verite approach to the actual search blended with heightened fantasy sequences in which Reno both looks forward to and dreads the truth that awaits her. (Special Appearances by MARY TYLER MOORE and LILY TOMLIN)

RENO IN RAGE AND REHAB, Reno's first evening length show started at PS 122 in New York's E. Village and subsequently ran off-Broadway at the Seventh Avenue Playhouse produced by Ellen Krass. Directed by John Ferraro, Reno later adapted it for an HBO Comedy Hour special which premiered in 1990, and was nominated for a cable ACE award for best writing for an entertainment special. Billy Crystal won, but he had to go to Moscow to do it. Since then, he has moved across the street from Reno, continuing his quest to become her.

RENO: REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE
A quick-witted, heavily improvising comedian with a knack for spinning off-the-cuff observational humor into strikingly incisive displays of political consciousness, Reno was awoken on September 11th by the impact of the first plane crash, just blocks from her bohemian loft. Not one to fall silent in chaos, she became the first artist to publicly exorcise her conflicted experiences before audiences looking for words to describe their own confusion. Reno remains shocked to find herself torn between her distrust of military tribunals and her growing warmth for the CIA, and she describes it for us with an honesty that is sometimes stirring, and almost always wickedly funny.

CITIZEN RENO
Downtown New York City alternative comedian and political activist, Reno, made four episodes of her 'non-fiction' sitcom, Citizen Reno, for Bravo. They aired in Spring, 2001. It turned out that Bravo was on the auction block at that exact time, and, although the executives wanted to order more episodes, they were not able to. Bummer, cause it wasn't on long enough for anyone to find it.
Then, September 11th happened, and Reno went on to write and perform Reno: Rebel Without a Pause, for the next several years.
