Colorado Theatre Guild's 6th year of 'Theatre Night Out'
By: Greg Rice Sep. 21, 2010
Started in January of 2005, we begin our sixth year celebrating world premieres and regional premieres, one revival and Stories on Stage. Theatre Night Out celebrates the diversity of programming made available to the public by our members.
• Theatre Night Out is an exceptional value for the price.• Convenience. Subscribers' ticket purchases and reservations happen in one easy step, and there is no more wondering what shows are running where or how to choose.
• Diversity. Subscribers have a chance to experience a wide variety of theatre companies and productions and discover "gems" they might otherwise not have known about.
• Encouragement to get out do fun things and meet new people. It's on the schedule and paid for already. All subscribers have to do on Friday night is come out and play!
THE PLAYS
Sunday, September 19 - Spotlight Theatre presents Showtune: Celebrating the Words & Music of Jerry Herman
We are welcomed to the world of Jerry Herman, one of the Golden Age of Broadway's pre-eminent tunesmiths. Composer and lyricist for some of Broadway's greatest shows, Showtune is sure to please audiences young and old alike with witty lyrics set to iconic tunes from shows that include Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage aux Folles .
Show time - 6:30 p.m. John Hand Theater, 7653 E. 1st Place in Denver. www.thisisspotlight.org
Friday, October 15 - the Denver Victorian Playhouse presents the regional premiere of Woman and Scarecrow.
Woman, mother of eight and wife to a faithless husband, lies in pain on snowy pillows. Around her stalks Scarecrow, a sharp-tongued female. Ominous sounds emanate from the wardrobe. There's something nameless and nasty in there, and soon Woman must surrender to it. Marina Carr's play is partly a black comedy charting a passionate life stifled in a provincial Ireland. Show Time 7:30 p.m. at Denver Victorian Playhouse, 4201 Hooker St, Denver www.denvervic.com
In (W)hole, Ames is an artist whose life is shattered by the self-destructive model she hires. Yet amid the rubble of her relationships, Ames discovers what it means to become truly whole. Show Time 7:30 pm
Paragon Theatre, 1387 S. Santa Fe Drive, Denver www.paragontheatre.org

In a small farm community during the depression, water and faith are in short supply. A charismatic but back-sliding preacher drifts into town and meets a gentle but misunderstood boy with the gift of divining or water-witching.
