Currently playing at the Acoma Center is the play Coyote on a Fence. This play is a deeper exploration of the death penalty debate in America and stars local talent Gene Gillete. Coyote on a Fence is produced by Curious Theatre Company and is under the apt direction of one of Denver's finest directors, Chip Walton.

Curious Theatre company has proven themselves to be one of the "big dogs" in Denver theatre in recent years with their much acclaimed productions of Praying for Rain, Fences and Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive. Coyote on a Fence appears to be the next play that Curious may add to their list of Denver theatre hits.

Sylvia

Now Showing
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm
Avenue Theatre
2119 East 17th Avenue, Denver
303-321-5925

One local theatre that has always been able to make audiences roar with laughter is the small, 100 seat venue called the Avenue Theatre. Their current project is the hysterical play Sylvia. It is an imaginative romp that focuses on a New York couple who find that their lives are changed when a stray dog is brought into the household. The dog, Sylvia, is portrayed by a human actor and audiences get a chance to get inside the thought process of mans' best friend.

Sylvia had an incredibly successful run at the Denver Center for Performing Arts several years ago but may prove to be even more loveable in such an intimate theatre.
