There’s a boom in performance space around the state – plus, a conversation with the folks at the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition and our weekly Colorado Headliners
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, Toni Tresca and I take a look at the growing list of new or reimagined venues around the state. From new tenants at tiny 40 West in Lakewood to multi-million new spaces in Colorado Springs and Grand Junction, we take a look at the newest places to see a show.
We also take a look at this week’s Colorado Headliners — our Top 10 list of the most titillating shows and other events coming up in our oh-so-square state. Which begs the question: How did such a square state get so darn cool?? This week’s Headliners, in no particular order:
- Colorado Community Theatre Coalition festival – Aug. 9-11, Evergreen
- Dear Jack, Dear Louise – Bailey Theatre at Glen Isle Resort – Aug. 9-18
- Improv & Fun – What If Theatre in Lakewood, Aug. 10-31
- A Chorus Line – Phamaly, Denver Center Aug. 8-25
- After the End – The Catamounts Aug. 10-Sept. 14 at Anythink Huron in Thornton
- Empire of Solitude – Flamboyán Theater @ Buntport Theater – Aug. 9-18
- 9th Annual Afrik Impact Community Cultural Celebration and Concert – Arvada Center, Aug. 10
- The 48 Hour Film Project – The Bug Theatre, Aug 11 and 23

- The Sin – Blunt Force Drama at Boulder Dairy Center Aug. 15-18
Later in the pod I caught up with Brad Moore and Brian Dowling with the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition, which has its annual festival Aug. 9-11 in Evergreen. It’s an interesting story about an organization that’s all about Colorado theatres sharing their art and knowledge while also going head to head in theatre competition pieces as part of the festival.

Loved listening to the CCTC information. I was on the board, and still keep in contact with Brad. I was so glad to hear of all the workshops and companies involved this year. Thanks for your support of CCTC.
