Family First
A Latino family struggles with life changes in Sunsets and Margaritas
From the start of his tenure as artistic director of the Denver Center Theatre Company, Kent Thompson has sought to give the company a strong regional voice, one in tune with a cultural constituency of many colors. To that end, he immediately gave a nod to Colorado’s Latino community, including a work by a Latino playwright in every season’s lineup. Although other theater companies had already given voice to this group, the DCTC has the power to push the material on a national level, which pays off in Denver, too. Last year’s Lydia, by Octavio Solis, is a case in point, since it garnered Pulitzer-worthy buzz on the East Coast.
