Theater and Arts in Denver

Let's see The Last Yiddish Speaker at the PLUSS Theatre in Denver, and grab dinner before the show if you'd like.
Play description:

Theatre Or brings the Colorado premiere of this gripping drama to Denver. It's 2029, and the government demands political and religious conformity. Mary, a smart and ambitious teen, and her father are quietly hiding their Jewish identity — until an elderly Yiddish-speaking woman appears on their doorstep and forces an impossible choice: conceal who they are, or risk everything to preserve their heritage for future generations. Thought-provoking and timely.

Note: the play imagines what would have happened if Trump succeeded in taking over after the Jan 6th revolt. Clearly, if Mr. Trump is your guy, you might want to pass.

The show is Sunday, April 18th at 7:30 pm at the PLUSS Theatre, 350 S Dahlia St, Denver.

Note: the tickets page lists this under the JCC (Jewish Community Center) Denver ticketing system — searching for "Last Yiddish Speaker" on that page will get you there. The show is presented by Theatre Or.

Let’s go see Furlough’s Paradise at Curious Theatre, and grab dinner beforehand at FIRE Restaurant & Lounge at the ART Hotel

Play description:
On a brief furlough from prison to attend her mother’s funeral, Sade returns to her hometown and stays with her cousin Mina, who’s stepped away from her fast‑paced life in California. Over a single charged weekend, the two women navigate grief, family history, and long‑buried trauma as their reunion becomes a reckoning about freedom, memory, and what it means to come home.
