`The Bug Theatre’s Sweet 16 Birthday Party & Fundraiser

To celebrate sixteen sweet years as Denver's most unique neighborhood theater, The Bug is throwing a one-of-a-kind party and you’re invited!


While The Bug is still relatively young, our faithful building is not. It's almost 100 years-old. As you can imagine, it is in need of some improvements to make it more comfortable for our patrons and more energy-efficient for Mother Earth (and our bottom line!). All proceeds from the night will go towards helping us make that possible.


Hosted by Freak Train’s Gerree Hinshaw, our Sweet 16 Birthday Party & Fundraiser on August 15, 2010, is a celebration like only The Bug can do: film, live theatre, music, dance, performance art, poetry and, of course, freaks.

This spectacular and unique variety show starts at 7:00 p.m. and features everything that makes The Bug Denver’s favorite neighborhood theater. In addition to the show, we'll be having a cocktail/social hour from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We’ll have cool prize giveaways and a silent auction. Come see the mind boggling cross-section of entertainment that has been flourishing at the one of a kind Bug Theatre for the past 16 years.

And this is all for just a suggested donation of $25 per person (tax deductible). Reservations are strongly suggested as space is limited. Please call 303 477-9984 or go to www.bugtheatre.org  for more info.

25th annual Putnum Spelling Bee

by Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn. conceived by Rebecca Feldman



directed by Christopher Willard

musical direction by Mary Gottlieb



featuring Chris Boeckx, Margie Lamb, Emily Luhrs, Dustin Murphy, Nick Ortiz-Trammell, Rob Riney, Maggie Tisdale, Shaina Wexler, Christopher Willard







Performances run June 24 thru August 22, 2010, alternating weekends

This hilarious tale of overachievers' angst - tender and sardonic - chronicles the experience of six adolescents vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.



The kids are a lovable, disparate group of outsiders for whom the spelling bee is a way "to not feel rotten." As the competition moves forward, there is a series of emotional highs and lows, and the contestants sing and dance through these ups and downs.



Add in a group of grown-up characters who haven't quite grown up, members of the audience and surprise guests, and this makes The "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" a roller coaster of music and fun.



This show contains mature content and adult language.

ambitions great. The 2009/2010 theater
programming is robust, acknowledging the content and scope patrons want
and expect," states Executive Director Gene Sobczak.

Lincoln Center Theater’s triumphant reinvigoration of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC comes to The Buell Theatre stage July 20–August 1. SOUTH PACIFIC swept the 2008 Tony Awards, winning seven honors including Best Musical Revival and Best Director for Bartlett Sher. This breathtaking new production has created a sold-out sensation on Broadway, lauded by the critics as “Simply wonderful…Beguiling theatrical magic” (New York Post), “ravishing and overwhelming” (Variety) and “rapturous and revelatory” (The New York Times). Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples – US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque, and Navy Airman Joe Cable and young local native girl Liat – and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score’s songs include such classics as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “Younger Than Springtime,” “Bali Ha’i,” “There is Nothin’ Like A Dame,” “This Nearly Was Mine” and “A Wonderful Guy.”

Tomfoolery
Music and lyrics by Tom Lehrer

Musical Arrangements by Robert Fisher

Adapted by Cameron Mackintosh and Robin Ray
Directed by Wade P. Wood



"... I went from adolescence to senility, trying to bypass maturity ..." - Tom Lehrer



Tomfoolery opens on Friday, *July 30 and runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; *Sundays at 1 p.m. through August 28 (*Please note opening date change and time change of Sunday performance). Tickets are $18.00 and are available by calling 303-433-4343 or online at www.denvervic.com.


Four actors, stools, a piano and a healthy dose of attitude are all you need to enter the witty, wicked, offbeat and thoroughly twisted world of famed satirical songwriter Tom Lehrer. Tomfoolery musical review include some of these well known classics “The Vatican Rag,” “Be Prepared,” “My Home Town,” “Pollution,” “She's My Girl,” “The Hunting Song,” and“We Will All Go Together When We Go.”



The cast, under the direction of Wade P. Wood, and the musical direction of Don Wagner includes Henrik Boes, Clark Bomer Brittain, Paula Jayne Friedland and Amanda Goldrick with choreography by Missy Moore.



Tom Lehrer is an American singer-songwriter, satirist, pianist, and mathematician. He has lectured on mathematics and musical theater. Lehrer is best known for the pithy, humorous songs he recorded in the 1950s and 1960s. His work often parodies popular song forms, such as in "The Elements," where he sets the names of the chemical elements to the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from Gilbert and Sullivan's “The Pirates of Penzance.” Lehrer's earlier work typically dealt with non-topical subject matter and was noted for its black humor, seen in songs such as "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". In the 1960s, he produced a number of songs dealing with social and political issues of the day, particularly when he wrote for the U.S. version of the television show “That Was The Week That Was.”

King Lear
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Lynne Collins

One of the most powerful dramas in Western literature, King Lear is both an intimate family drama and an explosive political epic. Beginning with a monarch’s division of his kingdom among his three daughters, Shakespeare’s tragedy examines the tempest in one man’s mind as his family disintegrates, his country is ripped apart by petty ambitions, and the very universe itself seems to unravel around him. Lear explores the most basic questions of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil.

Measure For Measure

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Scott Williams



Measure for Measure is one of Shakespeare's most provocative and unclassifiable dramas touching on themes of religion and government, injustice and mercy. A young man, whose fiancé is pregnant, is sentenced to death for sexual relations outside of marriage. His pious sister pleads for his life with the all-powerful regent who offers her a ghastly deal: will she sacrifice her virginity to save her brother? Wickedly stimulating, Measure for Measure is full of surprises, gasps and guffaws to delight.

Murderer
by Anthony Schaffer
Directed by Stacey Nelms
July 9 - August 7, 2010
An unusual and macabre beginning to this play sets the audience's nerves twitching well before any dialogue confuses theirs minds! Norman apparently murders his mistress, Millie, and is in the process of disposing of the body when he is interrupted by a Sergeant Stenning. Norman's hobby is to reenact the most bizarre murders of history. Norman's intentions are, however, more realistic and his wife's elaborate hoax of yet another murder to cure him of his addiction not only cements his resolve but almost provides his alibi for her own demise.

Nunsense

it all begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials.

The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “Grease.” Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices;

a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon.

With more than 5000 productions worldwide, it has been translated into 21 language. It was the winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off Broadway Musical in its original New York Production.

It’s zany and outrageous fun, but be warned.. it’s habit forming!

Our Town

by Thornton Wilder

Directed by Victoria Erville



First produced in 1938, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Our Town has become an American stage treasure. The play – Wilder’s best-known and most frequently performed work - reveals the ordinary lives of the people in the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. Our Town defies most conventional theatrical genres - it is neither a comedy nor a tragedy, neither a romance nor a farce. It is, rather, a contemplative work and richly timeless commentary on nothing less than the tragicomedy of human existence.

Squabbles

July 22- August 12

This hilarious play pits a father in law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles.

Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry's curmudgeon of a father in law. Abe is a funny guy to the audience, not to Jerry.

The situation is exacerbated when Jerry's mother Mildred loses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can't stand each other.

This play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heart warming finale in which the oldsters discover that, really, each is not so bad.

Town Hall Arts Center Presents Regional Premiere of The Love List



Town Hall Arts Center is pleased to present the regional premiere of a hilarious comedy, The Love List, by Canadian playwright Norm Foster. The play is directed by Robert Wells, and stars Robert Michael Sanders, Michael Ingram and Missy Moore.



This adult comedy warns you to be careful what you wish for. Two men concoct a list of the attributes of the ideal woman - the “top ten” best qualities in a mate. When this allegedly ‘Ideal Woman’ actually arrives on the scene the men quickly learn that their list could use a few revisions. [Contains sexual themes and adult language]



Here’s what the Canadian press has been saying about playwright Norm Foster:



"Norm Foster is Canada's most-produced dramatist, and no wonder. His snappy dialogue, everyday situations and gently balanced characters dare to represent that great, under-represented middle of North American society." - Halifax Daily News

"Norm Foster creates characters who are so believable that theatergoers see bits of themselves reflected on stage." --L.A. Daily News

"Norm Foster has a knack for creating winning characters and situations that make audiences respond with affection." --Toronto Globe & Mail

"One of the funniest writers of intelligent comedy in Canadian theatre today." -- Calgary Herald

The limited run has 7:30 pm performances on Fridays and Saturdays and two Sunday 2 pm matinees (Aug. 15, 22) beginning July 30th through Sunday, August 22nd.



Ticket Information:

Reserved seating tickets priced $21.00-$36.00 are available at the Town Hall Arts Center box office, 303-794-2787 ext. 5 or on-line at

The Taming of the Shrew

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Stephanie Shine



One of Shakespeare’s earliest and more popular comedies, The Taming of the Shrew bursts with disguise, deception and devilment. A playfully provocative battle of the sexes pits the shrewish Kate against the fortune-seeking Petruchio. But just who is taming whom? Unlike other romantic comedies, the play does not stop with the wedding. Shakespeare considers the institution of marriage, the rifts between men and women, and the rough journey toward love.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is the timeless tale of a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a delightful, entertaining world of colorful childhood fantasies. Alice journeys into a land of talking animals and flowers, animated chess pieces and decks of cards, babies that turn into pigs and comic royalty. She joins a race where the contestants run in circles, attends a frantic tea party, witnesses at a mad trial and nursery rhymes and riddles her way through this silly and fantastic wonder land. The play gives a slightly modern view to an old classic, where nonsense makes quite good sense.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is produced and directed by Lisa Mumpton, with Technical Direction by J.C. Williams, Scenic Design by Lindsay Sullivan, Sound Design by El Armstrong, Lighting by Jennifer Orf, Costumes by Sharon McLaury and Stage Management by Liam Speros.

This fast moving, fun-filled fantasy is highlighted by ten dynamite musical numbers. Audiences of all ages love this show. It’s a story of friendship, music, dance and inspiration.
The production showcases young performers from the CTW workshop program, a summer theatre training program for youth interested in theatre.
