Shock of the New

Kent Thompson's Denver Center Theatre Company will do things big in the new year: The DCTC hits the ground running this month with three commissioned world premieres in a row, in conjunction with the annual Colorado New Play Summit coming up in mid-February. It's all part of Thompson's quest to bring the shock of the new to local audiences by encouraging play development in his own back yard.
