The William Havu Gallery (1040 Cherokee Street, 303-893-2360, www.williamhavugallery.com) specializes in showcasing classic Colorado artists. That characteristic is exemplified in Tracy Felix and Sushe Felix: Common Ground. A husband-and-wife team, the Felixes don’t work collaboratively, but their work is interrelated. In the front spaces at Havu is a solid selection…
Colorado & the West. This is the tenth summer in a row that David Cook Fine Art, the state’s premier purveyor of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century material, has presented a group show dedicated to historic Western art. This year’s version is anchored by more than two dozen oil paintings and watercolors…
Girls Only. The trouble with Girls Only, a two-woman evening of conversation, skits, singing, improvisation and audience participation, is that it’s so relentlessly nice. Creator-performers Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein have worked together for many years; at some point, they read their early diaries to each other and were transfixed…
The sixth installment in George A. Romero’s long-running horror serial (est. 1967), Survival of the Dead follows Sarge Crockett (Alan Van Sprang) as he leads his gone-rogue unit of National Guardsmen from the zombie-pestilent mainland to “Plum Island, Delaware.” There the returned departed are feuded over by two family-armies led…
Say what you will, Michael Patrick King knows how to stage a fabulous gay nuptial. Sex and the City 2 begins with flair and good humor at the wedding of Stanford (Willie Garson) and Anthony (Mario Cantone), complete with a gay men’s chorus in white top-and-tails crooning a tastefully low-key…
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’s story hinges on a dagger that can rewind time, a narrative conceit that doubles as a taunt to those who endure this cacophonous, frivolous adaptation of Ubisoft’s Arabian Nights-themed video-game series. Bruckheimered to the hilt with the same rollicking period-piece cheesiness that typified…
You have to wonder at the sheer gutsiness of the Buntport Theater Company, whose members took an absurd idea and then — instead of playing around a bit, giggling and letting it go — decided to carry the concept forward, step by step, moment by moment, to its logical and…

John Stark, non-monogamist author of Small Things and the blog “We Sleep Together” (http://wesleeptogether.blogspot.com) says he became non-monogamous “the same way that everyone did. A lesbian friend asked me to knock her up at some point in the future, I asked my girlfriend if she thought that was okay, and…
“Growing up, we always saw movies like Back to the Future and 10 Things I Hate About You that had really cool proms,” says Josh Taylor, frontman of local pop-punk band Redo. “Unfortunately, most proms aren’t like that. They rely on a Top 40 DJ, and nobody dances unless it’s…
Inspired by the era when burlesque dancers’ lives were a continuous feather-and-sequin laden traveling spectacle, a group of New York neo-burlesque performers have taken their show on the road. And now, Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque on the Go-Go! — starring Clams Casino, GiGi La Femme, Anita Cookie and Minnie Tonka…
Heavy hitters at the 32nd annual Mountainfilm Festival in Telluride this weekend include both the 2010 Oscar-winning dolphin-slaughter documentary, The Cove, and 2010’s Sundance Grand Prize winner, Restrepo, photographer Tim Hetherington and journalist Sebastian Junger’s documentary filmed over the course of fifteen months on the frontlines in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley…
Sometimes the art we like can tell people as much about us as the art we make. That’s the idea behind this week’s installment of Illiterate Film Night. The four artists currently exhibiting at the Illiterate gallery — David Coccagna, Andrew Hoffman, Sander Lindeke and Katherine Rutter — will each…
You have to be a certain kind of nerd to be into typography, and especially the fine art of letterpress printing, a crafty, hand-set art all its own. But the results of that nerdy hard work take on a life all their own, giving off an aura that’s at once…
When thirty-year-old Mike “Monkey Nuts” Borcherding left his girlfriend in 2007, he didn’t have a friends-and-acquaintances prenup, which meant he didn’t have a pot to shit in when it came time to party. Poor guy. So he tried to join some kickball teams, but they were all full. “Well, fuck…
Keystone is typically one of the first ski mountains to open nationwide, and now it’s pushing for its earliest summer opening date ever, despite getting spring snow as recently as two weeks ago. But that contrast is exactly what Summer Remix is all about. Lay down a nice leisurely line…
Forget the backyard barbecue, water balloon fights at the pool and fighting with your in-laws over how to grill a perfect steak. The Truffle, the hopelessly addicting cheese, truffle and gourmet food shop at 2906 East Sixth Avenue, is offering something much better today — namely, whisking you “a-whey” to…
Joel Floriano swears you can bring your mom, your grandma, your kids, or your girlfriend or boyfiend to tonight’s Lucha Libre event at Red & Jerry’s in Sheridan. “This is a family tradition in Mexico,” he says. “It is part of our culture. It is a family show.” Truly, the…
Artist Sarah Haney always thought there was something odd about the way her Barbie dolls smiled all the time, and though as a child she subjected her fashion dolls to all forms of torture, “Barbie still had that little smirk on her face.” As an adult, Haney takes the experiment…
Denver’s Local Harvest Foods has just launched the Cherry Creek Valley International Farmers’ Market in conjunction with a monthly supper club peddling locally sourced foodstuffs and libations. The new market, at 710 South Ash Street, directly next to Home Depot, will run every Saturday through October 9 from 8:30 a.m…
Few films deserve the title “epic” as much as Akira Kurosawa’s Ran, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear set in feudal Japan. It tells the story of an aging king who decides to divide his kingdom between his three sons, only to see his plan dissolve into treachery, murder and…
Ivar Zeile of Plus Gallery says it’s a jungle out there right now for independent galleries, but that’s no reason to hunker down and play it too safe. The gallery’s new show, Invincible Cohort, borrows its name from a painting by metaphysical surrealist Giorgio de Chirico, hinting at the unobvious…
