Shadow Theatre Presents THE CHRISTMAS OF THE ANGELS, 11/19-12/20

Shadow Theatre presents The Christmas of the Angels by Michael R. Duran (World Premiere) a Shadow Theatre Company original production, featuring the Aurora Symphony Orchestra, directed by Keith L. Hatten.  The show runs from November 19 - December 20, 2009.

The Christmas of the Angels is a story about a young woman whose faith is put to the test. Word comes to Mary, via an angel, that she will carry the long-awaited Messiah; a miraculous pregnancy, an arduous journey, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. The Nativity story is creatively told through the Scriptures as seen through the eyes of three watching angels. This production will feature the music of the Aurora Symphony Orchestra. A return to the religious roots of the holiday, The Christmas of the Angels provides an evening for the whole family to enjoy.

Due to the turbulent economic climate, Shadow Theatre has lowered their ticket prices to $18.00, including opening nights which include a preshow reception. They will also include a free showing of each production two days prior to opening and a half priced preview The Day Before opening.

Shadow Theatre Company is located at 1468 Dayton Street, Aurora, CO. 80010. Founded by Jeffrey Nickelson in 1997, Shadow Theatre Company (Shadow) answered the artistic and spiritual necessity of creating an African American theatre for the Rocky Mountain region. Eleven years later, Shadow moved into a new state-of-the-art building, made possible in part through a partnership with the City of Aurora. Besides becoming Shadow's main performance venue, the new headquarters will serve as an arts incubator for the local community.

Under the leadership of new Artistic Director Keith L. Hatten, Shadow's performances continue to reflect upon the social morés of our time, challenging audience members to reconsider their own values, attitudes and actions. In addition to our theatrical season, each summer Shadow provides an intensive, five-week artist-in-residence program for area youth that culminates in a full production led, produced, directed and performed by program participants.

Shadow has presented 48 productions and received countless awards including the Mayors Award for Excellence in the Arts and numerous Denver Post Ovation Awards and nominations.
