Audition Notices

The shows play Civic Plaza June 8-July 1, 2018. This year, our two plays are going to share a world: the dynamic, revolutionary and tumultuous 1960s. A world like Shakespeare's and our own. The music, ethos and passion of the time will inform both shows, and we hope to have some cross-over fun between the productions. More information forthcoming.

About the Director.
Dennis Elkins directed last year's highly successful Comedy of Errors. He has been an acclaimed actor, director and professor of theatre for many years. Most recently as Artistic Director and chair of the theatre department at Ft. Lewis College. He has directed Shakespeare many times, and also acted with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. We are delighted to have him back this year.
