FALL 2021 PERFORMANCES

The Drowsy Chaperone

co-presented with Performance Now Theatre Company Fridays-Sundays, September 10-26 When a die-hard musical theater fan puts on a recording of his favorite Jazz Age musical comedy, an extravagant fantasy unfolds in his living room. A Broadway starlet and her debonair fiancé, bumbling gangsters, a misguided lover and an intoxicated chaperone create an evening of madcap delight.

Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado

7:30 p.m., Saturday, November 13 The Rocky Mountain region’s only professional period instrument orchestra presents “Cross-Currents” weaving together melodies in Baroque style from Latin America and Europe. New discoveries in Baroque music and traditional favorites promise to be an unexpected and entertaining evening.

Timothy P. & The Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers

2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, December 4 2 p.m., Sunday, December 5 Some of Colorado’s finest Western, bluegrass and folk musicians play entertaining arrangements of seasonal favorites and original music. A toe-tapping holiday tradition!

YOUTH & FAMILY

The Emperor’s New Clothes

co-presented with Missoula Children’s Theatre Monday-Saturday, January 24-29 Trouble ensues in the kingdom when the Emperor takes “dress for success” (and the importance of other people’s opinions) to the extreme. His true friends create an elaborate “birthday suit” for the Emperor to wear for his birthday parade, and he quickly and humbly learns that sometimes less is more.
