Yep, the arts are kind of gay — and to thank that group of festive folks for their continued support, the company is throwing the third annual OUT @ Curious bash, a celebration of the warm relationship that exists between thespians and, uh, lesbians, if you’ll excuse that joke. Hosted by Channel 2’s Chris Parente — the most fabulous thing currently going in local celebrity (he recently filled in for Regis Philbin on Live! With Regis & Kelly, by the way), the party is dedicated to One Colorado, a newcomer lobbying organization that advocates for LGBT equality — and that, says Benvenuti, is ultimately why Curious elected to stick with Circle Mirror rather than go with a performance of a work that directly addresses LGBT issues, as it’s done for OUT in the past. “We didn’t want a battle between focusing on One Colorado and focusing on the show itself,” she explains. “We wanted to put the focus on them.”
The evening costs $40 to $50 ($100 if you want to go to the post-show reception with Parente and the Circle Mirror cast), starts at 6 p.m. tonight with a pre-show cocktail hour at Curious Theatre Company, 1080 Acoma Street.
