SKIN OF OUR TEETH

Written by Thorton Wilder

Directed by Bev Newcomb-Madden

The Aurora Fox

The Antrobus Family has seen it all: war, plague, ice age, flood and even more war. This three act classic written by the same author who revolutionized American Theater with Our Town, shows the resiliency of the human race as it faces over and over again disasters both natural and man made.

Escanaba in Love

        Written by Jeff Daniels            Directed by Bob Wells

September 12 - October 12

The Aurora Fox

Escanaba In Love, Jeff Daniels’ new play, brings a touching, romantic comedy element to the rugged hunter-humor of Michigan’s favorite yooper family. As deer hunting season arrives, the Soady men meet their biggest challenge; not a great buck, or a hunter’s dream, but the camp’s first female visitor, young Albert Soady Jr’s bride: Big Betty Balou. Daniels’ hilarious humor kicks into high gear when the Soady men make their best attempts to grapple with their newest family member.

THE CRUCIBLE

Written by Arthur Miller

Directed by A. Lee Massaro

Arvada Center

Arthur Miller’s Tony Award®-winning classic, The Crucible, a gripping historically based drama, is also a chilling parable of modern society. Set during the Salem witch trials, the story focuses on a young farmer, his wife and a teenage servant-girl who maliciously accuses the wife of witchcraft. This spark of vengeance ignites a raging fire of bigotry and paranoia which threatens to consume the entire community. The Crucible examines the dangers that result when people believe that they possess the absolute truth.

THE DENVER PROJECT

Written by Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz

Directed by Dee Covington 

Misha was apart of the world premiere commission by the award-winning playwriting team of Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz (THE WAR ANTHOLOGY), an ensemble performance piece which explores questions about homelessness, gentrification and community responsibility. THE DENVER PROJECT continued Curious’ commitment to exploring our own community through the power of theatre: with our entire city engaged in a discussion around “Denver’s Road Home,” the Mayor’s 10-year plan to eradicate homelessness, a theatrical exploration as a platform for community dialogue.
