A look at some of the theatre companies losing their spaces, our Top 10 for the week and an interview with Caroline Bowman of ‘Frozen’
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca take a look at how some local theatres like Curious and Benchmark are giving up their homes due to cost. What does that say about the state of Colorado theatre, and why are some in the theatre community pointing fingers?
