Perpetual Beauty

Perpetual Beauty

While Ballet Nouveau Colorado has been busy forming a new collaborative dance company, Wonderbound, the dancers have been hard at work on their 11th season. For the finale, Artistic Director Garrett Ammon will bring his companies together to join the Colorado Symphony for his latest show, Perpetual Beauty. This performance will include Ben-Amots score, From Darkness...
Chasing Truth: Derek Cianfrance

Chasing Truth: Derek Cianfrance

Dressed in jeans and a snuggly blue flannel, filmmaker Derek Cianfrance could not be any more unassuming. His voice is soft, quizzical, almost childlike, and his blue-grey gaze hints at an inner uncertainty. He seems surprised to find himself sitting at a booth at the Four Seasons—and maybe he is, considering he landed in Denver...
Flow: Lyudmila Agrich

Flow: Lyudmila Agrich

While the stereotype of a Russian may be cold and harsh, Lyudmila Agrich is anything but. In fact, the only part of the 52-year-old Russian artist that does fit the typecast is her soft lilting accent. “Usually, I just talk too much. I spill more than I should,” she says, laughing. And talk and spill...

Music Legend: Deborah Cox

While Jekyll & Hyde has left the (Denver Center for the Performing Arts) building, we were finally able to catch up with Deborah Cox, who plays the role of Lucy. Cox has been a long time favorite of ours, and we were honored to chat with the Grammy-nominated artist: 303 Magazine: You have an incredible...
Culture Editor's Choice: (Romeo) & Juliet

Culture Editor’s Choice: (Romeo) & Juliet

Two star-crossed lovers are kept apart until Death intervenes. Think that sums up Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet? Think again. Yes, it’s been done before, and while we aren’t sure anyone can make us fall in love the way Claire and Leo did, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a cast that is willing...
This Ain't Yo Momma's Circus

This Ain’t Yo Momma’s Circus

For many, the circus conjures up images of too many clowns in a car, a tightrope walker with an umbrella and women in barely-there, sparkling leotards riding on elephants. Children in the front row, stay up past their bedtimes and spill popcorn and crackerjacks onto a dusty floor. But that is not Deena Marcum’s MOTH...
Must See: War Horse

Must See: War Horse

Joey’s ears melted my heart. The way they wiggled, twitched and turned with astonishing vitality—well, it was all I could do to remind myself that it was not a living, breathing animal on stage.   I thought that perhaps I would be disillusioned with the 120-lb-puppet. Instead, I fell desperately in love with the Handspring...
War Horse: An Interview with Andrew Veenstra

Editor’s Choice: Refugees in Denver

Editor’s Choice: Refugees in Denver

I want to be a humanitarian Humanitarian work often brings to mind images of war-torn countries and Angelina Jolie in a headscarf. In my house, the idea of administering life-saving medical services, traipsing through remote villages and being hailed as a hero is oft discussed after a bottle or two of wine. However, the morning...

Editor’s Choice: Anna Bé Bridal Boutique

Wedding planning can quickly become a living nightmare. And wedding dress shopping? Unless you’re Gisele, it can quickly become an exercise in self-loathing and indecision. Enter anna bé bridal boutique. If names like Vera and Monique make you swoon, but names like Waters and Tara LaTour make your wallet happy, then this boutique should be...
Victorian Nights

Victorian Nights

The Byers-Evans House Theatre is a great backdrop for a Victorian play. The stage (aka the music room) is masterfully set with original furniture and décor, lending itself perfectly to host Henrik Isben’s “A Doll’s House.” The play follows Nora Helmer’s (Theresa Dwyer Reid) life for a few days before Christmas. With the prospect of...
