Theater is a living, breathing entity. It captures the essence of human experience. This weekend, Colorado’s stages are alive with stories that resonate. From romantic vignettes to gripping dramas, there’s something for everyone.
In Longmont, “Almost Maine” takes center stage. This play is a tapestry of love stories woven into a cold landscape. It’s surreal, humorous, and sweet. The 11 After Theatre Company brings this gem to life at the Longmont Museum. Tickets range from $28 to $32. It’s a perfect date night option.
Meanwhile, Boulder offers a different flavor. “Angels, Devils and Mortals” is a ballet that fuses classical ballet with Argentine tango. Parasol Arts presents this steamy performance featuring Colorado Ballet’s principal dancers. The Dairy Arts Center will host this passionate display at 8 p.m. on Friday. Tickets are priced between $28 and $45.
The weekend doesn’t stop there. A dance party at Nissi’s promises to get hearts racing. Thumpin’, a popular local band, will pump up the dance floor. The energy will be electric. Grab your friends and dance the night away for $20 to $25.
On Saturday, prepare for a cultural feast. The Japanese taiko drumming group Kodō will mesmerize audiences with “Warabe” at Macky Auditorium. This performance is a visual and auditory spectacle. Tickets range from $26 to $103.
For those who enjoy Americana music, Luke Bulla is a must-see. He’s a seasoned performer with roots in a musical family. His show at Chautauqua Community House starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $24.
Comedy lovers can find joy at the Front deRanged Comedy Show. Improv actors will take audience suggestions and spin them into laughter. This show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Jesters Theatre. Tickets are affordable, ranging from $12 to $17.
Looking ahead, “Chasing Breadcrumbs” is a play that tackles contemporary issues. It explores the complexities of modern life through the lens of a playwright navigating a minefield of “Karens.” This production runs through March 9 at the Dairy Arts Center. Tickets are priced between $28 and $41.
Film enthusiasts can delve into the documentary “This is (Not) Who We Are.” It examines Boulder’s self-image versus the lived experiences of African American residents. This screening takes place at the Museum of Boulder at 6 p.m. on Thursday. Tickets are just $7.
For families, the Boulder Library offers a free Pokemon Card Party. Kids can engage in interactive games and connect with fellow fans. This event runs from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Theater and culture are vibrant in Colorado. Each performance is a chance to connect, reflect, and escape. The stories told on stage mirror our lives. They challenge us, entertain us, and sometimes, they heal us.
The weekend’s offerings are diverse. From heartfelt dramas to light-hearted comedies, there’s a show for every mood. The arts scene in Colorado is thriving. It’s a testament to the creativity and passion of local artists.
Support your local theater. Attend a show. Experience the magic of live performance. It’s more than just entertainment; it’s a community gathering. It’s a celebration of life, love, and everything in between.
As the curtain rises, so does the excitement. The lights dim, and the audience holds its breath. Each performance is a new adventure. Each story unfolds like a flower blooming.
