  • Sculpture Walk bringing 14 new pieces to town

    School is out for the year, and you’ll see people out for the summer — hiking, biking and enjoying our mountain community. Something that you might not expect to see, however, are cranes dotting the landscape at sites throughout town. Or welders blasting away at sculpture bases.

  • This show is a wicked good time

    Tickets for a Broadway production of “Wicked,” the legendary precursor to the “Wizard of Oz,” can run $300 each. Even if you have that kind of money lying around, chances are that most weekend shows are already sold out.

  • Chorale channels Woodstock for concert

    Forty years ago, a small dairy farm in rural New York became a countercultural mini-nation as more than 200,000 people gathered for an unprecedented music festival known as Woodstock. The world was wrought with unrest — racial discord at home and military action abroad were tearing our nation apart. In spite of the tumultuous state of the world, Woodstock was a bastion of love and peace, proving that the music of some of the world’s most influential performers could bring together thousands for a brief moment of musical and social harmony.

  • Exhibit a collage of primitive cultures

    Our world has become a complex and sophisticated place, and we can often lose ourselves in the maze of technology, transit and tight deadlines. In these complicated times, it often pays to slow down and enjoy the Earth’s fundamental patterns and resources — the simple things that make us feel more connected to the origins of life. For this reason, “Primitive Tapestries,” the latest show at the Evergreen Gallery, was born.

  • CCT students make beautiful music

    “Dubuque, Des Moines, Davenport … you really ought to give Iowa a try.” After a weekend in Evergreen without power and piled in late April snow, perhaps we should give Iowa a try. If not in reality, then definitely on stage, in the Colorado Children’s Theatre’s latest production of “A Music Man.”

    Coming off a successful run of “Fame,” the students of Colorado Children’s Theatre will metaphorically be heading to Iowa on May 2 when the CCT Junior Company brings the seventy-six trombones of River City to life.

  • ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ is thoroughly marvelous

    The recent trend in Broadway musicals is dark, operatic or seriously soul-searching. “Thoroughly Modern Millie” is none of these, and it provides a breath of fresh air when we need to laugh instead of cry and tap our toes instead of gnash our teeth. StageDoor Theatre’s upcoming production of this 1920s jazz pastiche is packed with plenty of catchy melodies, quirky characters and kick-up-your-heels good times.
