The new Parsons Theatre opens its doors on Oct. 9. To celebrate, Northglenn Arts Presents offers up a five-show season in the new facility beginning Oct. 15.

Gowdy, of the classic funk band "Freddi Henchi & The Soulsetters," joined the Kings in 2012. Miller has been performing blues, pop and gospel in the Denver area since 1984. Amazing artists on their own, they will be performing together in a can't-miss show to christen the new facility.

The popular Boulder-based a cappella group Face Vocal Band is back in Northglenn at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5. Using only their voices, the band performs popular tunes mixed with complex harmonies and beat-box rhythms in a captivating concert performance.

Su Teatro's production of War of the Flowers tells the story of the 1968 labor strike at a small floral plant in Brighton, Colorado. Employees at the Kitayama Corporation, primarily Mexican American women, were subjected to miserable working conditions. The play speaks volumes about the activists who launched a union and were instrumental in setting the tone for a larger rights movement. Two shows: 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 19 and 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 20.
