Click here to see our full gallery of photos from the Henry Lowenstein celebration Henry Lowenstein's achievements in theatre and his lifelong commitment to equal opportunity were read into the official Congressional Record on Nov. 12 by Rep. Diana DeGette from the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.
The rare honor came two days after Lowenstein was championed for consistently breaking down racial and societal barriers at a celebration in the Wolf Theatre at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center in Denver.
DeGette staffer Tricia Stevens read the Lowenstein proclamation to a crowd of nearly 400 who gathered on a frigid Nov. 10 evening to mark Lowenstein's significance to the world of theatre – and the world at large.
Lowenstein, who escaped the Nazis as a boy in the kindertransport of 1938 and went on to run the famed Bonfils Theatre in Denver from 1956-86, died Oct. 7 at age 89.
"Henry Lowenstein was one of Colorado's most respected and honorable residents," said Stevens, reading DeGette's words at the Mizel. "He is widely considered one of the most important people in the shaping of Denver."
DeGette hailed Lowenstein for consistently fighting against discrimination in any form. "Henry held a deep compassion for artists and for outcasts," the proclamation read. "This passion formed from the horrors of Nazi Germany, which shaped the artist he would become."
The celebration was a mixture of poignant anecdotes, jokes and performances co-hosted by John Ashton and Robert Wells. In a letter read by Ashton, Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock called Lowenstein a jewel in Denver's crown.
"Henry Lowenstein, without a doubt, was a giant in the Denver community in general, and in the arts community in particular," Hancock said. "His incredible love of theatre, his creativity and inspiring vision have set the standard for the high level of performances we enjoy today.
"Henry was resolute in his commitment to providing opportunities to those who crossed his path, and was an encourager of young people regardless of their race, their religion or their background. As the father of Denver theatre, he embraced thought-provoking pieces that caused the audience to consider the plight of others."

Hancock's wife, acclaimed singer Mary Louise Lee, who grew up watching shows at the Bonfils Theatre, then sang "Believe in Yourself" from The Wiz. That theme resonated throughout the evening. International dance icon Cleo Parker Robinson delivered her rousing eulogy wearing colorful, sparkly shoes she once wore in a production of The Wiz. Why? "Because Henry made us believe in ourselves," she said.
Robinson's father, Jonathan Parker, was a prolific actor and crew member at the Bonfils, located on East Colfax Avenue and Josephine Street. But he was first hired as a janitor, and only after Lowenstein intervened and overrode internal objections from Bonfils patrons to whom it was unthinkable the theatre might hire a black man – even as a custodian.
"Henry made the Bonfils the greatest theatre on the planet because Henry made it our theatre," Cleo Parker Robinson said. "It belonged to all of us. Henry used art as a way of changing the world so we could see it differently and feel it differently and have the opportunity to experience it differently."

Robinson said without Lowenstein, there is no Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre, "because the Bonfils made me who I am," she said. And since his death, "sometimes I have felt like a motherless child," she added as a way of introducing a dance she choreographed to the song "Motherless Child." It was performed by Chris Page, a member of her dance ensemble.
"I felt like I was a little lost at first without Henry," Robinson said. "But then I realized I will never be lost because Henry will always be our godfather, and he will always be a part of our hearts and lives."
Other speakers referenced many seminal chapters in Lowenstein's storied life: Growing up in Berlin with artist parents whose friends included Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, who wrote The Threepenny Opera largely on the Lowenstein family piano. How a curious young Henry peeked in through the painted windows of the Kit Kat Club that inspired the musical Cabaret. Being accepted into the Yale School of Drama masters program without having earned an undergraduate degree. That his sister, Karen, was a spy for the Allies in World War II. Being hired by the legendary Denver Post publisher Helen Bonfils to run her new crown jewel theatre in Denver on the same day in 1956 that she hired Donald R. Seawell to be her attorney. Seawell would go on to use Bonfils' inheritance to build the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Click here to see our full gallery of photos from the Henry Lowenstein celebration
By the time the Bonfils Theatre closed in 1986, it had been renamed the Lowenstein Theatre and had hosted more than 400 plays and sponsored dozens more in city parks. In retirement, Lowenstein opened and ran the Denver Civic Theatre, which is now the Su Teatro Performing Arts Center.
Along the way, Lowenstein provided opportunities for hundreds of artists. He launched careers. He encouraged women, gays and people of color. Anyone he ever considered oppressed, as he and his family were. For hundreds of thousands of Colorado audiences, the Bonfils served as their first exposure to live theater.
"One of Henry's greatest accomplishments was to provide meaningful creative opportunities to just about anyone he came into contact with," Ashton said at the ceremony. "He saw a spark in just about everybody -- and he knew how to kindle it."
Lowenstein also was hailed for taking programming risks, including the 1971 Denver debut of the gay-themed Boys in the Band.
"The number of people who came under the influence of Henry and his art is immeasurable," said his friend, Bruce Jackson Jr. "I don't think there is a place you can go in the American theatre where you can't find somebody who either knows, worked with or was influenced by something that Henry did."
Michael R. Duran said Lowenstein not only gave him his creative start out of college, he gave him his first professional opportunity to work as a set designer, properties master and director.
"Working for Henry was like a conservatory of learning," Duran said. "And when I went out into the world, he was my greatest cheerleader. So on a very personal level, I don't feel like I will ever lose him."
Actor Gwen Harris, who performed for Lowenstein at the Denver Civic and later became a regular performer for the DCPA's Theatre Company, flew in from Georgia. She remembered Lowenstein being deeply troubled by the true story of a Denver policeman who ran a stop sign and killed a friend of Lowenstein's -- and went unpunished for it. So Lowenstein rallied donnie l. betts (lower-case intentional) to direct a topical play called Split Second.
"He was just so focused," Harris said. "He came right up to me and said, 'I am telling you right now: You are doing the role.' And that was it. I did the role."
Lucy Roucis, who would make her way to Hollywood before being slowed by early onset Parkinson's disease, still calls Lowenstein "Uncle Henry." He gave Roucis her first – and last, she joked -- opportunity to direct. She remembered when she was assisting Lowenstein on a production of A Christmas Carol at the Denver Civic.
"The stage was high, but you could put your feet against the wall in the first row," she said. "So there I was with my notebook and my feet up when Henry came up to me and said, 'Have some respect! Put your feet down!' And I just said, 'Yes, sir.' And I put my feet down!"
Buddy Butler, a resident director at the Bonfils for 10 years, flew in for the celebration from San Diego, where he is now the Artistic Director of the Magic Carpet Theatre. He said Lowenstein can be aptly described in one word: Humanist.
"He was a man who cared and felt deeply for others," said Butler, who directed 35 productions at the Bonfils Theatre. He credited Lowenstein for colorblind casting, which didn't always sit well with all audiences.
"We mounted an integrated version of Guys & Dolls, and some people couldn't believe we were putting love relations on the stage that were mixed," Butler said. "Some people couldn't believe that black people were taking parts that weren't necessarily created for African-Americans. But Henry believed good theatre could be done by good people -- and that good people will always appreciate it."
And good people came – and appreciated -- Guys & Dolls, he said.
"Henry opened the front door, the back door and the side door. He had a vision to create a theatre that would embrace the entire city. Not just the white part; not just the Hispanic part; and not just the black part. Henry said, 'We are not going to be in the box. In fact: We are not going to have a box.' "

Lowenstein's sons, David and Joshua, recalled a father who enjoyed backpacking, camping, fly-fishing and four-wheel driving. Who took his kids to rock concerts at Mammoth Gardens (now the Fillmore Auditorium) on East Colfax Avenue.
"At his commencement address at Colorado State University in 1986, Dad told the graduates to always question authority," David Lowenstein said. "I was proud of him -- and sort of surprised by his radical nature."
Lowenstein had two great loves during his life. First wife Dorie died of cancer in 1990 and was the namesake of the Dorie Theatre at the Denver Civic. He later married Deborah Goodman, a massage therapist from California who had no intention of ever marrying – and certainly not a man in the arts.
David Lowenstein called his mother a funny and improvisational woman who made for a wonderful partner for his father. "When she passed away, my father was a shell of himself -- until he met Deb," he said. "She not only loved and supported him -- she also got him to mellow out and relax."
The ceremony drew friends and colleagues from around the country. But former Rocky Mountain News theatre critic Thom Wise was most impressed by the attendance of Joyce Meskis. She is the owner of the Tattered Cover Book Store that now operates in the shell of what once was the Bonfils Theatre.
"Henry imbued in her a love of that building," Wise said. "That theatre is still standing today because of her. And so I just thought it was incredible that she made the effort to come out tonight."
Wells, who runs the Avenue Theater and sits on the board of the Town Hall Arts Center, played Jesus in a wildly popular Bonfils production of Godspell in the 1970s. "No matter who else did the job," Wells deadpanned "… Henry made sure it was done over."
Other performers included Robert Johnson, who sang "Corner of the Sky" from Pippin, and Mark Middlebrooks, who sang "The Colors of My Life" from Barnum.
At the end of the poignant program, Nyssa Lowenstein likened her grandfather's life, fittingly, to the act of producing a show.
"Henry Lowenstein was a groundbreaking performance that had a tough rehearsal process, an inspirational tech week, and a glorious run," she said. "And even though it has now closed -- the actors, the audience, the stage managers and stage hands, the box office and publicity, the boards and the critics, the directors, the choreographers, the designers and the crew will all talk about that show."
And if Lowenstein's life was a performance, Ashton said as a way of closing the evening, "then all I can say is … Good show."
John Moore was named one of the 12 most influential theater critics in the U.S by American Theatre Magazine in 2011. He has since taken a groundbreaking position as the Denver Center's Senior Arts Journalist.

An eclectic quartet made up of a Mayor, a Grinch, a Jersey Boy and the most adorable waif in literary history gathered today to once again declare the Denver metro area and the surrounding region open for holiday business.
The city's 11th annual "Mile High Holidays" press event is an opportunity for the metro business community to tout all of the varied shopping, entertainment and tourism options available to consumers through the end of January.
"The holidays are a magical time of year," said Mayor Michael Hancock. "But they are also a crucial make-it or break-it period for many businesses in the city."

Monday's lighthearted program included Broadway actor Shaun Taylor-Corbett singing the holiday standard "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" from Jersey Boys, the beloved Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons musical that plays at the Buell Theatre Dec. 10-14. Taylor-Corbett is the son of renowned choreographer and Littleton High School grad Lynne Taylor-Corbett, whose credits include Chess, Titanic, Swing! and the Denver-born Red Hat Society musical, Hats.
"My mother and her family have a deep history with the city of Denver," said Taylor-Corbett, who last performed here as Sonny in the 2010 touring production of In the Heights. "At age 17, my mother moved to New York and worked her way up, and she very much influenced me to come into this career."
Taylor-Corbett has now spent the bulk of his career working on two musicals that both won the Tony Award for Best Musical.
"In the Heights changed my life, and I remember audiences here in Denver were unbelievable," he said. "It was special to be back here in my mother's hometown. I guess I'll have to do Jersey Boys for the rest of my life because I don't see how it can get better than this."
Taylor-Corbett said Jersey Boys continues to introduce Broadway to a new, blue-collar audience, for one obvious reason: Who doesn't love the Four Seasons?
"Sometimes you have a good story, and sometimes you have a good score," he said. "This one has both. I mean, every single song is a hit: 'Walk Like a Man,' 'Sherry,' 'Big Girls Don't Cry.' But the way they weave them into this behind-the-scenes look at these guys' rags-to-riches story is really the best writing I've ever seen in a musical. People just go crazy over it."
Even dudes.
"They do," Taylor-Corbett said. "Guys will say, 'I don't want to go to a musical,' and then their wives or girlfriends drag them to the show – and they love it, because it's cool."

On Monday, Taylor-Corbett walked Mayor Hancock through a crash-course in the Four Seasons' signature "Walk Like a Man" dance -- and he came away impressed with Hancock's moves.
"He's actually the best choreography student I've ever had when I've done a press event," Taylor-Corbett said. "And I'm not lying. He's awesome. And he loves the show. He's seen it, like, five times with his wife (Mary Louise Lee)."
The DCPA's holiday offerings will include A Christmas Carol (Nov. 28-Dec. 28), Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Musical (Dec. 17-28) and The SantaLand Diaries (Nov. 28–Dec. 24), based on caustic NPR humorist David Sedaris' semi-true experiences working as an "elf" in a Macy's SantaLand display. Non-holiday titles will include Jersey Boys (Dec. 10-14) and Forbidden Broadway: Alive and Kicking (through March 1).

The store will be open Fridays through Sundays, plus Dec. 22 and Dec. 23. Read more about the store here.
Taylor-Corbett was also joined on the Holiday Box Office stage by The Grinch from Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and young Elias Harger, who plays Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. The Grinch read the storybook version of his story to gathered children, with Harger turning his pages. And Harger also invoked his character's famous line, "God bless us everyone."
Mile High Holidays is a cooperative marketing effort that includes two dozen local business partners -- and their efforts are said to boost the local holiday economy by $1 million.

That was but one of many poignant remembrances peppered between showstopping musical numbers at a bittersweet public celebration on Monday afternoon for the President of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, who died in his sleep Oct. 9 while attending a conference of theatre presenters. He was 59.
It was delivered from the Buell Theatre stage by Jimmy Calano, who was Weeks' pledge son 40 years ago at the Kappa Sigma fraternity at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Later, Calano asked Weeks to be the godfather to his own son.
"Although Randy was cheated out of his fair share of breaths, he took our breath away by the power of his friendship, by the way he made us feel special, and by how he flat-out took care of us," Calano told a crowd that was estimated at 1,500 by the city of Denver.

Attendees included family and friends; DCPA employees past and present; theatre audiences; more than 100 fraternity brothers; and members of the local and national theatre communities including theatre owners, producers, presenters, booking agents, press agents and representatives from both The Broadway League and the Independent Presenters Network.
Dean Singleton, chairman of The Denver Post and a member of the DCPA's Board of Trustees, said, "We have lost one of the greatest minds in theatre. Not only did Randy bring Broadway to Denver, but he made Denver the first stop for some of the greatest productions leaving New York. Randy had the unique ability to convince people that Denver was the right place for a first stop -- and he delivered."
In his 23 years as the Executive Director of the DCPA's Broadway division, Weeks presented more than 400 shows that served 11.6 million patrons. In his tenure, Denver hosted the launches of 10 national touring productions, including The Lion King, The Book of Mormon and, most recently, Pippin. Representatives from those shows and more flew to Denver to attend Monday's classy send-off. The program culminated with University of Northern Colorado freshman Abby Noble singing "One (Singular Sensation)" from A Chorus Line alongside nearly 30 members of the Denver School of the Arts' recent production of Hairspray.

In May, Noble was named Outstanding Actress in a Musical at the Bobby G Awards, which honor achievements in Colorado high school theatre. The program was spearheaded by Weeks in 2012 and quickly became his greatest professional joy. He also served on the Friends Foundation at Denver School of the Arts.
Two of Monday's performers were DSA students Jimmy Bruenger and Madison Kitchen, who fell in love with Broadway musicals by watching productions that Weeks brought to the Buell Theatre stage. Monday's celebration afforded both the opportunity to perform on that same stage for the first time. Even in death, Bruenger said, Weeks was making dreams come true.
"When I found out we were being asked to perform here, I started hyperventilating," Kitchen added. "Both of us saw Kinky Boots here just last night. And so to be on that stage for the first time today? It's incredible."

The Pippin tour has recently bestowed upon Weeks what is believed to be an unprecedented honor: The entire tour has been dedicated to Weeks, who will now be acknowledged in programs in every city Pippin visits. The idea was suggested by Kathleen O'Brien, Weeks' counterpart with the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
"This has been the best tour-opening experience in my 27 years out on the road, and Randy is the reason," said Pippin national press rep Anita Dloniak, citing the camaraderie and professionalism he inspired in his staff. "And he throws the best parties," she added. Honoring Weeks, she said, was one way for the Pippin family to grapple and cope with their grief over his sudden death.
"He is just a wonderful force to be reckoned with," Dloniak said. "A giant ... but a gentle giant."
Nancy Gibbs attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver and has since produced many major theatricals including Wicked; I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (the longest-running show in Denver theatre history); Traces; Next to Normal, and Peter and the Starcatcher, which launched its first national tour in Denver in August.
"Randy was a leader," Gibbs said. "Once he stepped up to the plate, he knocked it out of the ballpark."
David Turner, General Manager for The Book of Mormon, said it was Weeks who convinced producers that Denver was the only place for that tour to launch.
"Randy was the one who knew that the writers (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) were from here, and he really wanted us to make that connection," Turner said.
The Book of Mormon launch in Denver sold all 51,000 available tickets in less than five hours. Turner called that an "extremely important" validation of the show.
"For everybody who wasn't sure how The Book of Mormon would be received outside of New York, that was an incredible vote of confidence," Turner said.
Weeks was respected by his colleagues for his uncanny ability not only to maximize blockbuster, popular fare, but to predict the next big thing. One of the most poignant moments in Monday's celebration came when seven members of the 2013 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Kinky Boots took the stage to sing "Give My Regards to Broadway" in Weeks' honor. The show is currently playing in Denver through Sunday (Nov. 9).
"During a very early preview performance of Kinky Boots, Randy ran up to me at the intermission and said, 'Promise me this show will play Denver,' " said Kinky Boots' Hal Luftig. "To a producer with a show still in previews, that meant the world to me. And now, here we are in Denver, playing to packed houses every night."
Weeks also was credited for his willingness to take risks both large and small. Weeks could have responsibly passed on important, challenging musicals with questionable commercial road potential, like Next to Normal (about a mother's suicidal depression) and Spring Awakening (about 1890s German teens experiencing puberty in the complete absence of information). But when Weeks came across shows that had the potential to change audiences' lives, he felt a deep obligation to schedule them.
"He was so clearly willing to take risks here," said The Book of Mormon's Turner, "and over time, he developed an audience that was willing to take risks with him. That combination is very rare."

Added Ray Roderick, who directed large world premieres like I Love a Piano in the Auditorium Theatre and small cabaret shows in the Garner Galleria: "Randy saw the Denver community as one that was going to embrace good work no matter what it was. Denver is a very big demographic, and a very smart demographic, and Randy managed to please a lot of different kinds of people."
Weeks was remembered on Monday for far more than just his many professional successes. He was remembered as an uncommonly compassionate friend … and a most decidedly uncommon dresser.
Weeks was known for wearing argyle sweaters and golfing pants adorned with animal prints only Rodney Dangerfield could love. The sweaters were a tribute to his late mentor, Robert Garner. "But the pants were all Randy," said his longtime assistant, Claudia Carson, who directed the musical portion of Monday's celebration. Family members confessed that Weeks left seven pair of Brooks Brothers animal-print pants behind in his closet at home.
"We're going to miss Randy because he was always there with outstretched arms and a sweater that looked like something out of 1962 Paris Vogue," joked Kris Andersson, otherwise known as Dixie Longate, whose Dixie's Tupperware Party has played in the Garner Galleria Theatre four times. "It was so vogue that you probably wouldn't want to dress that way. You'd look at it and go, 'Really?' But Randy owned it."
Andersson's longtime manager Michele Helberg credited Weeks for "reinvigorating the Dixie brand" five years ago when he first brought the Tupperware Party to Denver. And Andersson credited Weeks for green-lighting last summer's mouthful of a sequel, Dixie's Never Wear a Tube Top While Riding a Mechanical Bull and 16 Other Things I Learned While I was Drinking Last Thursday.
"He used his influence with other people in the industry to take a new artist and a new piece of work and move it forward further than if we had to do it on our own," Helberg said. "If it hadn't been for Randy and his Denver Center family, I don't think we would be where we are right now."
"Randy used to say, 'It's all about the fun,' " Andersson added. "We get to have fun every day of our lives, and a really big part of that is because Randy looked at our show and said yes. And then, when the opportunity came along to do the new show, Randy put tickets on sale before I had even written it. He had that much faith in me."
Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein are two other performers whose lives were forever changed when Weeks decided to move their two-woman sleepover Girls Only: The Secret Comedy of Women from the Avenue Theatre to the DCPA.
And here's the thing: "He picked up our show without ever even seeing it," Klein said. In those days, the title was truth in advertising: No men allowed.
"He had heard about it, and he knew that women loved it, and so he just said, 'Why aren't we doing this?' " Klein said.
That came as no surprise to Ekeberg, Weeks' protege and successor.
"Randy led with his heart, and he put his heart into everything," Ekeberg said.
Girls Only played at the Garner Galleria Theatre for two years and has now been seen by 250,0000 women … and a few men. "That's not something Linda and I could have done on our own," Gehring said.
Girls Only is currently playing in Rochester, N.Y., but the Denver-based duo came home for Monday's celebration. "We had to," said Klein. "We needed to grieve with our friends."
DCPA Chairman Daniel Ritchie welcomed Monday's crowd, and the master of Ceremonies was CBS-4 Critic-At-Large Greg Moody. Speakers included all three of Weeks' siblings -- Pam Weeks, Joel Weeks and Stephanie Gamble. Others included Al Nocciolino, representing the Broadway League and the Independent Presenters Network. He was with Weeks at the London conference. He told Monday's crowd that Weeks spent his final day shopping, and bought a deck of cards adorned with vintage fighter planes for his history-buff dad. That night, Weeks attended a performance of the controversial new play King Charles III in London's West End. Afterward, Nocciolino said, "Randy was holding court and telling everyone he had just seen the best performance he had ever seen."
Video: "I Love a Piano" performed by Shannan Steele, Lauren Shealy, Randy St. Pierre, Michael Gold, Sarah Rex and Jordan Leigh.
The musical program included performers from some of Weeks' favorite shows, including I Love a Piano and Forever Plaid. The first show Weeks ever presented in the Garner Galleria Theatre was Forever Plaid, and on closing night in 1992, cast members sang "Old Cape Cod" as a gift to him in honor of his New Hampshire roots. Michael Gold, Drew Frady, Randy St. Pierre and Scott Rathbun sang the song at Monday's celebration.
Shannan Steele credited Weeks for hiring local actors, citing the upcoming opening of Forbidden Broadway in the Garner Galleria Theatre, which has an all-local ensemble.
"I think most of my career wouldn't exist without his efforts and his vision for the local community," Steele said. "If you ever got to work under Randy, it was always a huge employment opportunity – and a huge artistic opportunity."
Gold, who performed in Roderick's I Love a Piano, has known Weeks since he joined the DCPA box-office team as a college student in 1978. "I remember seeing him run credit cards over carbon paper; it was that long ago," Gold said.
When Joel Weeks took to the podium at the Buell, he referenced Weeks' eulogy to his mentor, Robert Garner. "In it, he said, 'How can you know someone for such a long time and never fully comprehend how much they have become a part of your life?' " Joel Weeks said.
"My journey will be an amazing one if I can just try to emulate a fraction of what my brother was."
Ekeberg, the final speaker, said his boss' true strength lay in one-on-one relationships. "He made you feel special; he made you feel heard, and he made you feel important," Ekeberg said. To honor that spirit, he urged the crowd to heed the message of Pippin:

The Creede Repertory Theatre had a party at Denver's Cap City Tavern on Sunday to announce its 50th anniversary season.

Creede Repertory Theatre, the sixth-oldest theatre company in Colorado, will celebrate its 50th season next summer with a nod to its past, present and future. And with an assist from many faces familiar to Denver Center for the Performing Arts audiences.
Creede is a picturesque town nestled in the San Juan Mountains 250 miles southwest of Denver. It was credited with saving the dying town after the demise of the mining industry in 1966 when a dozen students from the University of Kansas heeded a plea sent out by the local Jaycees asking someone -- anyone -- to come to Creede and infuse the town with culture and economy.
Today, the Creede Repertory Theatre is the largest employer in Mineral County, generating more than $4 million a year. The company operates two theatres on Main Street, drawing nearly 22,000 theatregoers this past summer. The company's young-audience outreach production, ¡Viva Agua!, played to more than 23,000 students. The 2015 season opens June 12 with two American classics: Guys and Dolls and Our Town, Artistic Director Jessica Jackson announced today. Guys and Dolls was staged in the company's inaugural 1966 season. Then will come two world premieres: Ghost Light, a 50th anniversary commission by Nagle Jackson; and I Love St. Lucy, a farce written by National Theatre Conservatory alum John DiAntonio. Nagle Jackson has directed many DCPA Theatre Company productions and written several more, including Bernice/Butterfly, A Hotel on Marvin Gardens and adaptations of Scapin, Cyrano de Bergerac and The Miser.
Jackson's Ghost Light will celebrate the founding of the Creede Repertory Theatre by comically reimagining that fateful summer in 1966 when those University of Kansas students came to town. (Two years later, a young Mandy Patinkin would join them.)
The season culminates with Tracy Letts' searing family drama August: Osage County, which many consider to be the best American play of the new century. That will be directed by Christy Montour-Larson, who helmed last season's Shadowlands for the DCPA. August: Osage County will star NTC alumna Anne F. Butler in the tour-de-force role of Vi, the pill-popping, cancer-stricken matriarch, and Creede Rep veteran Christy Brandt as her steely sister Mattie Fae. 2015 will mark Brandt's 41st season with Creede Rep.
Creede will also bring back its annual children's offering, Pants on Fire (a made-up musical for young audiences), and its late-night improv comedy, Boomtown. The week of Aug. 4-9, 2015, has been designated as "Alumni Week," with a host of special events in the planning stages.
The DCPA always has maintained a strong presence within Creede Rep. Jamie Horton, Mike Hartman, Randy Moore, Jeff Roark, Caitlin Wise, Anthony Powell, Steven Cole Hughes, John Arp and Jeff Carey are among other past and present DCPA artists who have summered on Creede stages. And Diana Dresser, Michael Bouchard, Jake Walker and Adrian Egolf are among those who have returned the favor by migrating from Creede to the DCPA. Wise, DiAntonio, Hughes, Butler, Carey and former longtime Creede Rep artistic Director Maurice Lamee all graduated from the DCPA's National Theatre Conservatory masters program.
Creede Rep expects to again tour one of its 2015 offerings to the Arvada Center, as it has each of the past five seasons, but a final agreement has not yet been reached. Creede Rep veteran Christy Brandy, left, starred in "The Last Romance" with John S. Green this past summer. It was then brought to the Arvada Center. Photo by John Gary Brown.
Creede Rep's 50th Anniversary Season (Descriptions provided by Creede Repertory Theatre)
Guys and Dolls
By Jo Swerling, Abe Burrows and Frank Loesser; based on characters by Damon Runyon
Directed by Jessica Jackson
Set in mythical New York City, Guys And Dolls tells the story of Nathan Detroit, a gambler who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town. Meanwhile, girlfriend Adelaide is a nightclub performer who laments their 14-year engagement. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky is busy romancing straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. A colorful introduction to the shady denizens of New York's underworld. Our Town
By Thornton Wilder
Directed by Michael Perlman Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written," this play is not-to-be-missed by anyone who loves this town as much as we do. Welcome to the small town of Grover's Corners. This ordinary town awakens us to the powerful truth that being alive is a precious, ephemeral gift. Follow two families as their children fall in love, marry, and discover that life's challenges are the gateway to life's deepest meaning: to cherish the glory of every-day life.
Pants on Fire
A totally made up musical for kids
This hour-long improvised musical is created from the ideas given by kids in the audience.
Improv comedy
Back for its ninth summer, Creede Rep's improv comedy-makers will again embrace its unique brand of twisted spontaneous comedy.
Ticket Information

Risa Brainin, who will direct Appoggiatura for the Theatre Company at the DCPA later this season, was named President of the Board of the National Theatre Conference on Sunday.
The conference, founded in 1925, is an organization of distinguished members of the American theatre community. Its purposes include:
— To explore the means of best serving the interests of the American theatre, and to initiate, encourage, and support projects of value and significance with a view to strengthening and broadening the influence of theatre in this country.
— To bring the membership together at least once a year for an exchange of aims and ideals, and for the discussion of common problems and interests.
— To provide opportunities for the membership to hear the views of outstanding personalities in the theatre and to observe demonstrations of various techniques the general membership may profit from knowing.
Brainin heads the theatre department at the Universty of California-Santa Barbara and holds a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University. Through her development program called "Launch Pad" at UC-SB, Brainin has evolved and directed new nine plays with playwrights in residence, including Appoggiatura and three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist James Still.
Still was first commissioned to write the play by the DCPA. He conceived of Appoggiatura and got it off the ground by working with Brainin through the "Launch Pad" program. The play was later workshopped at the DCPA's Perry-Mansfield New Works Festival in Steamboat Springs during the summer of 2013 and then read at the 2014 Colorado New Play Summit before being added to the current mainstage season.
"Launch Pad" was featured in the March issue of American Theatre magazine for its innovation and contribution to new-play development. Other featured playwrights have included Sarah Ruhl (Melancholy Play), John Walch, Barbara Lebow, Sheri Wilner, Lila Rose Kaplan and Alison Tatlock.
DCPA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating unforgettable shared experiences through beloved Broadway musicals, world-class plays, educational programs and inspired events. We think of theatre as a spark of life — a special occasion that's exciting, powerful and fun. Join us today and we promise an experience you won't soon forget.

Celebration V Countdown: Day 6
Posted by
August 6, 2010
at 08:00 AM CST
As you may be able to guess, Star Wars was an early influence in my life. As a kid I spent many an afternoon playing the intergalactic hero either with a toy laser gun or on a smaller scale with my action figures. Did you know a plastic Chewbacca will turn green after spending a winter lost in the Michigan snow?
I took my first official Star Wars job in 1995 working on the roleplaying game with West End Games. A year later, I graduated with honors from the illustration department of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and went freelance full-time. My involvement in that galaxy far, far away grew as I became the primary artist for Star Wars Kids magazine and illustrated Star Wars children's books for Golden Books and Randomhouse Publishing. To date I've worked with nearly all of the big Star Wars licensees on a variety of projects. I've even become a bit of a writer with a regular article in the Star Wars Insider magazine.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to be living that childhood dream today making my own mark in the Star Wars universe.
"The Hunter and His Prey"
Below the title is the movie quote which was the inspiration "
I had no choice. They arrived right before you did.
- Lando Calrissian"
Edition Size:
Celebration V Exclusive
With only 250 pieces available, this one is sure to go quick. Interested in sharing your own opinion on this piece? Check out the Chris Trevas Art Thread in our online forums
. Chris would love to hear your thoughts and so would we!
Mr. Trevas wrote us with his extremely busy CV schedule to make it easier to keep track of where he'll be and when during the show along with some awesome exclusives you won't want to miss:
My schedule and exclusives:
I will be signing Star Wars Essential Guides and Encyclopedia at the Barnes & Noble booth #129 on Thursday (6-7pm) and Friday (6-7pm).
I will be signing Star Wars Blueprints: Rebel Edition with Chris Reiff at the DK booth on Friday (11am-12:30pm) and Saturday (2-3pm).
I am a part of the following panels:
Exploring the Star Wars Galaxy with the Essential Guides - Thursday 1:30-2:30pm, (Behind-The-Scenes Stage W414 ABCD)
The Jedi Path book overview - Thursday 3:30-4:30pm (Star Wars Classroom W300)
The Making of Star Wars Blueprints: The Rebel Edition - Thursday 5-6pm (Star Wars Classroom W300)
Star Wars Quiz Show - Friday 3-4pm, (Behind-The-Scenes Stage W414 ABCD)
Discover the Atlas: Inside the Star Wars Essential Atlas - Friday 6pm-7pm, (Behind-The-Scenes Stage W414 ABCD)
Chris Reiff and I will be talking to kids about the blueprints in the Family Room W311EFGH from 2 - 3pm on Sunday. We'll be handing out worksheets and letting kids come up with their own internal workings of an X-wing!
I designed a piece called Iggy's Eighty-Eight Espresso that will be available in the Celebration store as a coffee mug ($12) and an embossed retro tin sign ($20). It was created as a humorous nod to the fact that the part used to make IG-88's head was first used as a piece of set dressing behind the bar of the Mos Eisley Cantina.
I illustrated the characters for two of the collector's panels cereal boxes, Admiral Ackbar Cereal and Greedo's (available at the Star Wars Patches Panel and Star Wars Collectibles Authors Panel respectively).
Chris Reiff and I did the artwork for the Official Pix Celebration V character lapel pins (45 characters in total). Each silver toned character pin is free with purchase of a Metallix 8"x10" photo. There is also a gold toned set which is free with purchase of a complete autograph set of Official Pix guests.
Be sure to stop by the Official Pix Autograph Hall to catch artists Chris Trevas, Chris Reiff & Chris Holoka signing trading cards limited to just 200! These are the gentleman responsible for the design and artwork on the metal character pins that are free with each purchase of an 8x10 metallix photo while supplies last. Times to be posted by the pin display on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

The 1975 National 500 is a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that took place on October 5, 1975, at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, North Carolina, USA).[2][3][4] A race called the World Service Life 300 was organized by a different stock car association the day before this race. Both of those races took place on the same race track.
An official program was handed out to the spectators at a cost of $2 USD per copy ($8.77 in today's money). It took three hours and forty-seven seconds for the race to resolve itself from its 12:30 P.M. scheduled green flag time; Richard Petty defeated David Pearson by 0.26 seconds for his 176th win of his 200-win career.[2][4] The race ended at approximately 4:07 P.M.; enough time for most families make the drive back to their motel rooms or to their homes to prepare for supper.
Pearson would achieve the pole position with a speed of 161.701 miles per hour (260.233 km/h) during the qualifying runs;[2] his next pole position start would be at the 1976 World 600.[5] More than 61,000 spectators would attend this live racing event with seven cautions given out for 53 laps.[2][3] The average speed of the race was 132.209 miles per hour (212.770 km/h); done over 334 laps on an oval track spanning 1.500 miles (2.414 km).[2][3] There were 42 drivers on the grid;[4] all of them were born in the United States of America.[2][3] Coo Coo Marlin was the last-place finisher due to an engine problem on lap 8 in his 1975 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna automobile.[2][4]
Darel Dieringer would make his final NASCAR appearance in this race; finishing in seventh place in the process.[4]

If you have adopted a Cat Depot kitty and would like to tell your story or give an update on your new family member's progress, we would love to hear from you! To tell your kitty's "tail," please Send Us An Email with a short story and a photo of your Cat Depot graduate.
We are delighted to have Hobbs as a member of our family! He's made our home his home.
Hi there – my name is Jerrod, although the good folks at Cat Depot briefly called me Casper in an attempt to make me seem more "user friendly." But I'm more of a Jerrod, so my adopted family went back to that name. That's the name my mom knew me by for over a year when she would visit Cat Depot. Their cat family was complete at that point, and, I'll admit, I was a very scaredy cat then. Wouldn't let anyone hold me, didn't even like to be petted much. I had come from a bad cattery situation and I guess I was pretty depressed.
After visiting me for over a year, she finally decided that two years at Cat Depot – as nice a place as it is – was too long, so she took a chance on me and took me home. I think I stayed in one part of the house for a year or more, but that was partly because one of the other cats I live with was not very nice to me.
We have since agreed to disagree, and now I venture any where I want to. Besides, he has a little arthritis in his back and can't jump anymore, so I have the upper paw (he he). The picture you see is of me with my boy on a lazy Saturday a couple years ago. I have a girl, too, and her bed is just as comfy.
I still don't like to be held, and I'll never be a lap cat, but a good head rub makes me purr, and if you rub my side just right, I'll chortle. This is about as good as it gets.
I just wanted to update those of you who were around 3+ years ago and might still remember me. I'm the one with the docked ear and one hazy eye…. Remember? Keep up the good work, Cat Depot. I have found my forever home.
We adopted Prime, now known as Opie (or he adopted us - not quite sure which), almost two weeks ago. He is the most well-adjusted, loving, sweet kitten we have ever seen.
Biggie is doing great. He is very social and loves cuddling with us. He gets along with our other cat now - no more hissing or growling! They play a lot and even lay together, as you can see by the photo.
Thank you!
Austin F.

The Top 100 Inspirational Movies: 60 - 41
45 - Dances With Wolves
Westerns aren't typically considered the most inspiring
genre. Guns, horses, cowboy hats, and
impressively manly one liners tend to rule the day, along with sometimes very
unfortunate racism. Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves aimed to give western movies a new name, and he was wildly
successful. Former civil war lieutenant
John Dunbar relocates to the frontier, where he finds an abandoned post to
man. He isn't alone long, as the
neighboring Indian tribe finds him and tries to get away with his horse. Rather than make an enemy, John becomes
attracted to the life of the tribe and seeks to learn more from his
neighbors. The movie ultimately tells a
sad tale, but it's message is positive – it is always better to seek to break
barriers rather than to create them.
Those sacrifices will always be worthwhile.

What Makes Stock Rock for You with AeirmidStock & Resources
Thank you to Aeirmid for being my interviewee!
You've been on DeviantArt for several years now and have been photomanipulating for many of those, in terms of the yearly increase in availability of stock and resources on the site do you feel that it has it helped or hindered your personal creativity?
:iconaeirmid: Yes! In fact, I came to dA as a photomanipulator, LOL! It has been a lot of fun to watch the stock community develop over the years. It has especially been inspiring to watch the stock providers who have been here for a long time grow and change, while maintaining the high quality of their galleries. It has also been inspiring to see newer stock providers who are coming up these days, with their exciting ideas and vision. So, really, I feel like over the 9 years since I joined, the dA stock galleries have inspired me greatly.
One thing that has hindered my personal creativity, though, is the fact that there are a few stock providers who, while inc

Digital Art - Mixed MediaGalleries Month
What is Mixed Media?
Digital Mixed Media refers to deviations that have been created using combination of at least two DIGITAL art forms: digital painting, airbrushing, 3D objects, fractals, photographs, vectors, etc. There is a misconception that this category is meant for artworks combining both traditional and digital techniques, however this is not true, as Traditional Art also has its own Mixed Media sub-category. In the case of an artwork created using both digital and traditional techniques, it's up to the artist to decide in which category it should go.
Mixed Media focusing on the formal, non-representational aspect of imagery, emphasizing lines, colors, generalized or geometrical forms.

Digital Art - AnimationGalleries Month
What is animation?
Animation is the illusion of movement created from the quick sucession of static images with minimal differences between them. Today there is a great variety of animation techniques that include traditional animation (a sucession of frames, drawn digitally or traditionally), stop motion (photographs of real life objects), 3D animation (created with computer software), rotoscoping (tracing a live action sequence, frame by frame) and a large etcetera.
The Digital Art > Animation gallery is intended for animations of all kinds, as long as they were made with digital mediums and they're NOT in Flash or video format (usually in GIF format).

As many of you have noticed, the Literature gallery gets a huge influx of fan fiction submissions. We're hoping that by having Fan Fiction under the Literature umbrella, the number of miscats in the overall gallery will drop. And, for those of us who frequent both galleries, it'll simplify submitting and finding work.
Of course, we can't cut down on miscats without your help! Please spread the word by favoriting and sharing this journal, and by moving any of your own submissions as appropriate.

The Digital Art - Drawings and Paintings gallery is one of the fastest growing galleries here on DeviantArt. Within the gallery, members of the community will discover a wide variety of styles as the possibilities for Digital Drawings and Paintings are endless. So what exactly are Digital Drawings and Paintings? Is there even a difference between the two? Well, in this article I will explain exactly what Digital Drawings and Paintings are as well as why they are indeed different.
Digital Drawings and Paintings Defined
Let's begin with something easy such as defining what is considered Digital art. Digital art is any artwork that is created using digital software and/or tools. In the simplest of terms, your art is considered to be digital if it was created using a device such as your computer, digital tablet (ie: iPad), a Nintendo 3DS, or even your cellular phone! Digital artists often will use tools to

Literature > Prose > Nonfiction
What belongs in the nonfiction gallery?
Loosely speaking, nonfiction is anything true. This includes stories from your childhood, journalistic accounts of what's happening in the world today, and opinions, even when they're about fictional topics.
So writing about why you think Loki x horse is the best ship ever could go to the Editorial gallery, but actually writing a story about the birth of Sleipnir belongs in (fan) fiction.
The Editorial gallery is a place to submit pieces that take a definite side. A review will let the reader decide whether or not they want to look into something, but works submitted here say 'this is my opinion, and here's why it's a good opinion.' A persuasive essay can be an editorial, too.Academic Essays is pretty self-expl

Anthropomorphic Art
The unique thing about Anthro art is that it can take different shapes, sizes, and forms! There is no "right" or "wrong" way to draw or portray Anthro art because like fantasy art, they do not exist so there is nothing to "reference" them off from. Only our imagination.
Here are some features of animals that have been anthropomorphized!

The overall goal is to have fun and take some time to get to know other chatters along the way. This hunt isn't about who gets through it the fastests so please do take your time, work at your own pace, and most of all, remember to have fun!
We have worked hard to make clues easy to follow without just giving them away. Be sure to pay attention to messages as you enter rooms, or links that stand out. Many rooms list rules or other important tidbits in the rooms topic and/or title. These are great places to pay attention to as well.
Don't be afraid to ask other chatters questions about the chats, take some time to make new friends or just get to know someone. If you'd rather do this with a friend, feel free to bring one or more along for the ride.

I'm looking for some kind of embedded shell we can stick in a C/C++ daemon. The idea is that we can telnet to a port that's being listened on, and change configuration/view status/etc.
Something like the CLI that Quagga/Zebra has (which is modeled on IOS) or similar. Ideally has readline-like support for ease of use, and easily extensible for us to add new features to it.
I've thought about using something like embedded Python or Lua to provide a shell in that language, but I've never actually seen anyone else do this.
Anyone else mind chiming in with how they've accomplished this before?

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Gary Jules isn't your typical folkie. For one thing, there's too much L.A. street grime coating the songs on his self-released critical smash Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets; for another, Jules covers not Dylan or Seeger when he looks for outside material but early Tears for Fears. Jules's spare remake of that band's 1983 UK hit "Mad World" was the musical highlight of the recent Drew Barrymore film Donnie Darko. Like Randy Newman, San Diego native Jules is transfixed by the forgotten and down-at-heel corners of his adopted hometown of Los Angeles. Jules's L.A. is the one you read about in Charles Bukowski or see on Cops.Unlike Newman, Jules frames those visions with a whispery voice and arrangements that feel a lot like Simon and Garfunkel at their peak.
