A roundup of some of the many great theatres in the Colorado high country, plus an interview with Blaine Swen from the Improvised Shakespeare Company

In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca do a rundown of some of the top theatres outside the Denver metro — particularly in the mountain towns like Aspen, Telluride, Breckenridge, Silverthorne and Creede.

Later in the pod, Alex and Toni have a great interview with Blaine Swen with The Improvised Shakespeare Company. The comedy troupe is in residence at the Denver Center’s Garner Galleria Theatre through the end of April, and Blaine offers some insight on what people love about Shakespeare, how they perform a unique, completely improvised show every night and why Denver is one of their favorite places to perform.
