If the food wasn’t so worth savoring, the cocktails so intriguing, it might feel even more like sacrilege to continue eating during the short and evocative performances in the elegant dinner theater that is “FEED: Dry.” But then, the eats and libations are integral to the ritual that the Boulder-based Catamounts creates during its signature gatherings of culinary and theatrical sustenance.
Two female African-American scholars arrive for their coveted dinner reservation at a select café. But what starts as a celebration, quickly takes a hilarious and raucous turn. Banter turns to debate, and debate into battle as the women figuratively and literally vie for a seat at the table

In honor of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the Boulder Chamber Players commissioned an intriguing theatrical-musical event:
Incessant Hum: Beethoven 2020, featuring the later works, which were composed after Beethoven became deaf. Artistic director Barbara Hamilton enlisted the aid of award-winning actor-director Mare Trevathan and playwright Jeffrey Neuman, himself profoundly hearing impaired, to create the piece. The task was daunting, Neuman says, “because I wanted to serve Beethoven well both the music and the man and because I’d never really written about hearing loss, a subject that seemed a bit too close to home.” The result features acclaimed actors Chris Kendall as Beethoven and Chelsea Frye as Elise a name familiar to every piano student who ever attempted Beethoven’s lyrical Für Elise (Bagatelle No. 25 in A Minor) . The stream is $25 for families, $10 for individuals and $5 students/unemployed; sign up at coloradochamberplayers.org.
