Not that Germinal is calling it quits. Baierlein hopes to continue staging plays in rented houses. But there's a sense of loss nonetheless: If only walls could talk...
Tonight's opening -- Peter Handke's Offending the Audience, a so-called "anti-play" first performed by the company in 1976 and featuring a cast of Germinal friends and veterans (at least a few of them from the original production) -- will be the last play premiere to grace that well-worn stage. Who wouldn't want to risk being offended just to be part of this moment?
See Offending the Audience at 8 p.m. this evening at the Germinal; the show continues Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through August 25. Tickets range from $19.75 to $23.75 (or take your chance on a $15 rush ticket fifteen minutes before any performance); call 303-455-7108 for reservations or visit the website for information.
