Feb. 20 & 23 365 Days/365 Plays @ DU

Again, props to John Moore, whose MySpace page was the only source of details for this week's offerings that I could find.

WEEK 15: UNIVERSITY OF DENVER
Suzan-Lori Parks' '365 Days/365
Plays' Colorado cycle now shifts to the University of Denver, where the Week 15 cycle will be performed at the following times:

*Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Driscoll Student Center Bridge.
When? 12:50 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m. and 2:50 p.m.

*Friday, Feb. 23 in the Ritchie Center just before the school's 7 p.m. hockey game, and again after the first period ends (estimated 7:45 p.m.).

This is what we're told: "Look for the Babe Catcher, tap dancing, a man walking on water and the waitress from Coney Island Joe’s. You’ll see a woman in mourning, hear a short sketch performed in Spanish, and marvel at a painting on the wall of the King President’s bedroom." The performers are not from the theater department but from DU's Living and Learning Communities students and staff. They are "an ensemble of risk-takers with a passion for community engagement, performance, the arts and creative endeavors."

All performances are FREE. For more info, email Fay Coulouris (fcoulour@du.edu) or Roscoe Hill (rehill@du.edu).

March 1 Pure Confidence Director's Notes @ DCPA

I'm posting this event earlier than I might normally because registration is required and there's already a waiting list. The director of the DCTC's upcoming production of Pure Confidence, Kent Gash, will lead a Director's Notes session at 6:00 on March 1, featuring a discussion of the play and a tour of the theater.

Feb. 23 "Jason and the Argonauts" @ BPL

From the Boulder Public Library:

Jason has been prophesied to take the throne of Thessaly. He assembles a sailing crew of the finest men in Greece, including Hercules. Their voyage is replete with battles against harpies, a giant bronze Talos, a hydra, and an animated skeleton army, all brought to life by the special effects of film wizard Ray Harryhausen. (104

LIBRARY FILM PROGRAM
The Red Shoes
Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, with Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook (1948)

Under the rule of impressario Boris Lermontov, his protégées realize the full promise of their talents, but at a price -- utter devotion to their art. One ballerina falls in love with the composer of the ballet staged to showcase her talents. She leaves the company and marries the composer, torn between Lermontov's demands and those of her heart. Based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. (133 min.)
