Thanks so much for a wonderful night out! My husband and I took our neighbors to see Impulse Theater on Friday (12/0806, the 7:30 show). We had so much fun I can hardly describe it! By the end of the show, my facial muscles actually ached from laughing so much.
The cast is smart and funny and quick witted. Our favorites were John Bauer and Adrian Holquin - but all the actors were wonderful.
We bought tickets a few weeks in advance and were glad because the theater was packed & we had great seats. The drink service wasn't the fastest but the show more than made up for it.
Overall well worth the money, well worth the time. My husband wants me to set this up again so we are definitely going back!

DCPA gives Denver its own touch of class. I've frequented the theater of many large cities and I'm here to tell you that ours is second to none. From the Colorado Symphony to I Love You, You're Perfect--Now Change, and everything in between you will witness a consistent high-quality and entertaining performance.
These shows are worth saving up for (or attend one of their reduced-price events--see their web site) and a wonderful excuse to get gussied up and go out and flaunt that little black dress. Let's face it--you can't wear it to the Stock Show!

The Bluebird often attracts up and coming bands and so called idie rock bands. The retro designs offer an artsy and intimate setting that accommodates a small crowd in a tiered room so that everyone has a good view of the stage. The acoustics are pretty good and the bartenders are friendly which offers concert goers the chance to see some really great bands that would otherwise be hosted in big arenas with less than good acoustics and a more commercialized setting.
Come to the Bluebird for some great shows.

I saw Straylight Run along with Action Action, Bella Lea, and Firescape at Rock Island this spring, and I loved the place. No matter where you are, you're close to the stage. We were up by the Merch booth, and still no more than 20 feet away from the band. It was great. And, since most bands are rather small, they'll come out and talk to fans, which is awesome. The guys from Action Action were really cool, as was the singer from Bella Lea. It's great having the bands so close and accessible. And ticket prices are usually like 12 bucks, very affordable. Check this place out, it shouldn't disappoint.

I think we Denverites are extremely lucky to have the quality of cultural offerings that this city offers. We are a cow town no longer!
I recently attended a performance of the Colorado Symphony and was blown away. First of all, the acoustics at the DCPA are such where you can hear a pin drop from the last row. That intensified my listening pleasure to no end. The performance itself was flawless, with a variety of pieces to suit every taste. Accompanying nearly every piece was a fascinating explanation of it's history and nuances, provided by the conductor to everyone's delight. And the soloist--just a young girl--was superb!
Plus, the symphony and the theater seem to be the one place where people actually get out of their jeans and dress up for the night!

Amy and I went with our friends Dave and Maureen to the opera last night. Yes - the opera (the music thing, not the browser.) Now that I'm 40, I've decided it's time to make sure I do more "grown up things" and the opera seemed like it fit the bill.
Amy is a classical music fanatic and loves the ballet, so I've always spent plenty of time at the symphony and the ballet. I particularly like ballet as it's usually a little warm in the theater which generates a deep nap (one of those sloppy sweaty ones) if the ballet isn't captivating me (I love modern, I fall asleep during story ballet.)
So - I expected to enjoy the opera for a little while and then fall into a deep sleep. We saw The Abduction from the Seraglio and I was blown away. The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is phenomenal. The seats are comfortable (we had great ones), the acoustics were awesome, and the set was beautiful.
Abduction from the Seraglio is in German, which was a little weird since the "radio opera" I usually hear randomly is usually Italian. There were these cool little electronic translation screens on the seat backs ("The Figaro System") that translated the opera into English, which made it really accessible.
I loved it. Even though I was wiped out from my week, I stayed fully engaged. The music (Mozart) was engaging and the performers were stunningly good.
Of course, we started with dinner at Kevin Taylor's at the Opera House in the basement of the Opera House. The food was awesome and the decor / environment was really interesting.
It's always great when your "first time" of something goes well. Last night was really fun. Thanks to my friends Dave and Maureen for making this event happen.

I have just been there for the kids shows, and even the ones I didn't particularly like, my daughter enjoyed them. And she still looks forward to returning, which is a great way to introduce kids to theater for the cheap price of $5 per show. They also have open-mic and movie showings here, though we have only been to the Saturday morning kids shows.

The Curious Theater can really push the limits of what you thought was possible. Last season they had shows on a man dating a sheep and a gay baseball player with numerous nude scenes. And best of all, after each show they have a "talk back," where the actors come out to answer questions from the audience. The upcoming season looks even more promising, so this is a great local theater to support.

If you love live theater, Curious Theatre is an excellent place to get your fix! Although the theater is small, its plays don’t suffer for it; so far the 2005/06 season has been spectacular, featuring plays from a wide range of genres. The seating is comfortable, the view up close and personal, and the tickets affordable!
