Theater and Arts in Denver

Cowboys and East Indians - and dinner before the show
Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Singleton Theater
Tuesday, February 10th, 7pm

Regular seats (not front row) are $81. Seating is assigned! I picked this date and time because weekend matinees and Friday evening shows had very few seats available, this show is popular. Get your ticket soon! I will post my seat number soon, so we can maybe sit together.

Description:

Adapted from Nina McConigley's award-winning collection of short stories, Cowboys and East Indians follows the Sen family as they grapple with expectations and cultural collisions moving from India to Wyoming.
Lakshmi "Lucky" Sen's dad calls her a prairie dog — hesitant and scared on the side of the road. Now on a mission to fulfill her mom's final wish, Lucky has to figure out saris, how to stop burning the spices, and the many other things she didn't pay attention to while she was busy trying to fit in. But on the eve of her sister's wedding, a family secret resurfaces, and Lucky realizes there might be a lot more about her mom and being a "good Indian daughter" that she doesn't know.
A rare exploration of rural immigrant experiences in the American West, Cowboys and East Indians examines the question of how one understands their identity when they don't see a reflection of it in their community.

Dinner:

Before the show, for those interested, let's grab dinner together. There are a lot of choices around the DCPA. For a former DCPA event, we met at The Corner Office, perhaps there - but open to other suggestions! We'll firm up dinner location and time as the event gets closer, keep an eye on the event discussion.

Playing in the Nickelson Auditorium

Based on the blockbuster 1980 movie, 9 to 5 is the hilarious story of workplace revenge in the Rolodex era! Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical and lying boss. While he is “otherwise engaged” the women give their workplace a dream makeover and take control of the company that had kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?

Please note a 3.75% City of Aurora Admissions Tax is automatically applied to the price of each ticket.

Please note an order fee of two dollars ($2) per ticket will be added to each transaction. This fee is waived for our current year Season Subscribers.

Let's go see The Revolutionists in Louisville, and maybe catch dinner before the show.

Play description:

Paris, 1793. The French Revolution's Reign of Terror is in full swing, and four women are trying to figure out how to change the world. They've got big ideas about art, activism, feminism, and legacy. They've also got guillotines to worry about. It's a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection that ends in a song and a scaffold.

The show starts at 7:30. Seating is general admission, so we'll want to try to grab seats for the group. I will be in the lobby or entrance to the theater at 7 and grab my seat at 7:15.

For dinner, there are a number of choices in downtown Louisville that are within walking or very short drive distance. If anyone has a preference, mention it in the discussion. A few random options - casual, good family Mexican at Picas? Classy old west style Front 740? Small Italian place Zucca?
