The Denver Traveler

The Denver Center is also bringing one of my favorite shows to town, Stomp!!
If you’ve never had the chance to see this energetic show of percussion, then you are missing out! Everything becomes an instrument in the hands of these capable players, resulting in an exciting (if sometimes LOUD) show that everyone can enjoy. Take my word for it, you don’t want to miss Stomp!
The show runs from March 4th to March 9th, at the Buell Theatre. Tickets are available online or at the Buell Theatre box office.

The story centers around a small ranching community in eastern Colorado and the hardships they face as their lives come in contact with each other. The play was commissioned by the Denver Center Theatre Company and was adapted by Eric Schmiedl, from the book by Kent Haruf.
Tickets are available online or at the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Students enjoy tickets for $10 when purchased an hour before the show, with student ID. …read more

The forecast is foretelling Sun!-with clouds only returning, in part, late Sunday. So, Alicia and I suggest taking a slightly less than bundled up walk around your favorite places. Be sure to include a last chance glance at the City and County buildings light display- as it is the last weekend for the National Western Stock Show and that means those lights will be dimmed all the way down until the next holiday season.
After that invigorating stroll- why not take in a cheap movie. No- not as in quality, as in price. The Elvis Cinema’s are offering some fantastic second …read more

The impression of Denver for many people across this nation, and world, is one of the Wild West; complete with jumping on the back of a horse and slinging shotguns while wearing a ten gallon hat.
Opera Colorado is giving the world exactly what they want in an unexpected way- hosting a production of Donizetti’s Don Pasquale set in the America wild west of the 1800’s! There will only be five performances between February 8th and 17th at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House within the Denver Performing Arts Complex at Arapahoe and Speer.
Don Pasquale is an amusing tale of deception and …read more

Upon my arrival in Colorado, one of the first things I noticed about my new home state was how outdoorsy it was. Everyone was biking everywhere, there were a ton of people walking down the street, and there was no shortage of outdoors shops everywhere I looked.
One afternoon we were driving down Broadway and I had to ask Shawn Marie why there were people carrying skis, snowboards, and in one case a full on canoe, down the streets of Denver. She looked around, then said, “Oh yeah! It’s Sniagrab time!” That’s “bargains” spelled backwards, and it’s a huge sale …read more

It is cold Cold COLD outside- a perfect time for an indoor musical adventure. Stop on in to one of Denver’s premiere home grown music stores- Twist & Shout. The name itself warms your soul with the feel of nostalgia and a leaning toward the future. To say Twist & Shout is only a music store would be incorrect, they also offer a unique line of collectibles, bags, cards, and hip outer wear.
However, it is first and foremost a Music Store to the ’nth degree. Looking for used and/or new cd’s or do you still yearn for vinyl? Twist & …read more
