Not every garage combo is made up of scruffy teens in saggy jeans. Lots of part-time musicians who wear suits from nine to five yearn to rock, too — and the Battle of the Corporate Bands, which plugs in tonight at the Boulder Outlook Hotel, is designed just for them…
We live in a strange blender of a world, where musical borders are broken and crossed as the cultural pot continues to melt. Although musicians have always borrowed from other genres — from the first explorers to Elvis and Paul Simon — there’s still plenty of room for mixing and…
An advanced degree isn’t required to enjoy watching movies. But Denver Art Museum film-series curator Tom Delapa believes that better understanding the medium’s vocabulary can make the experience even more satisfying, and he aims to prove it with ABCs of Cinema, a six-week class that starts tonight. According to Delapa,…
We all know that Avalanche players can work it on the ice rink; they’re professionals, for crying out loud. But can they bowl? That’s for them to know and you to find out at this evening’s Cruisin’ the Lanes Celebrity Bowling Tournament, which starts at 6 p.m. at Lucky Strike…
Surviving the first year as a nonprofit is reason to celebrate — especially when in that year, an organization serves 75 families with critically ill children. To mark the occasion, the Boulder-based There With Care will host All the World Is a Stage tonight at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th…
What do you mean, anorexia, homosexuality and alcoholism aren’t funny?! They’re damn funny! Look, there’s the homophobic Pope, the apple-brandy-soaked Johnny Appleseed, and Ron the Ironic Anti-Semite. See them all at Right On, America, the irreverent comedy that premiered in Denver in 2000 and returns to the Avenue Theater starting…
Everyone loves a good pajama party. You just can’t go wrong with pillow fights, bedtime stories and cookies and milk. But the older you get, the fewer excuses you have to put on your comfiest jammies, stuff your feet into your softest slippers and have a not-so-quiet night in with…
Adam Lerner, director of the Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar, takes his museum’s handle completely seriously. All about experiments and concepts, the Lab is truly anything but a museum. It’s a place, rather, where Lerner hopes the dust will never have a chance to settle. So inviting artist…
The allure of Denver’s bustling art district on Santa Fe is a beguiling one for gallery owners and artist collectives. It is, without question, where the action is, a mecca that boils over with an art-loving influx on First Fridays. So when the space vacated by Capsule Gallery at 554…
Though I’m sure it’s purely coincidental, the decision to release the Diane Keaton-Mandy Moore romantic comedy Because I Said So with the scent of this year’s Sundance Film Festival still fresh in the air provides us with an excellent opportunity to review the wayward career of the movie’s director, Michael…
PARK CITY, Utah — Ten days of terse texting among professional narcissists working on little or no sleep in one of the last cold spots left on Al Gore’s inconvenient Earth: Welcome to Sundance ’07, where wounding homefront melodrama Grace Is Gone sells and it hardly pays to be nice…
PARK CITY, Utah — We all know about the cathartic power of blues music, but until the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, who knew that it could serve as a cure-all for everything from nymphomania to childhood sexual abuse? In Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer’s Black Snake Moan, whose out-of-competition…
Even by the lacerating standards of recent Sundance documentaries Why We Fight and Iraq in Fragments, the non-fiction at this year’s fest felt, well, real — alarmingly so. Indeed, after doing battle with films about U.S. policies on Iraq, Darfur and global warming, this critic was nearly moved to rescind…
PARK CITY, Utah –On the first Saturday of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, I rolled out of bed and hustled up Main Street for the 8:30 screening of Tamara Jenkins’ The Savages, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney as adult siblings caring for an irascible elderly parent. Only I…
One morning, Gary Walkow was suddenly transformed into a successful Hollywood filmmaker. Gone were the hat-in-hand searches for financing, the deferred salaries, the long shooting days with undermanned crews, and the months upon years spent touring the festival circuit while seeking a distribution deal. For a moment, he was taking…
I spend the first thirty minutes of 1001 in a state of irritated disaffection. This is the world premiere of an original play, and disaffection may be a legitimate response: Playwright Jason Grote has tried to do something original, something that I can’t slot tidily into any of the pre-existing…
I first visited the Country Dinner Playhouse with my parents-in-law — good, small-town, middle-American folk, who took my husband and me to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as a special treat. I remember that the food was the usual steam-table fare and that I was a little surprised by…
Aphrodisiac. Playwright Rob Handel’s inspiration is the affair between Congressman Gary Condit and intern Chandra Levy, which erupted into the media when Levy disappeared in 2001. Her body was discovered a year later; although suspicion clouded his career, Condit was never officially accused of murder. Aphrodisiac approaches this story obliquely…
Ironton Studios & Gallery is the flagship facility of the one-year-old RiNo Art District. “RiNo” is a contraction of the words “river” and “north” and refers to the relatively vast area along the South Platte River, northwest of downtown, where some art-related operations — notably a lot of studios –…
Denver collecting couple Jill Wiltse and Kirk Brown have really raised their art profile this season.
