(Photo: Courtesy of John Gary Brown)Tune in to the Colorado Art Report, CPR's weekly arts show hosted by Chloe Veltman, for in-depth coverage of the Colorado culture scene.
On this week's show:
- Denver Center Theatre Company (DCTC) artistic director Kent Thompson talks to Chloe Veltman about the demise of the resident acting company both within his organization and nationwide.
- Actors and long-time friends Christy Brandt and John Green share their memories of four decades of performing as regular company members with Creede Repertory Theatre, a 49-year-old theater company located in a tiny Colorado mountain town five hours southwest of Denver.
- The founders of two unconventional lecture series in Denver -- "Mixed Taste" and "Warm Cookies of the Revolution" -- chat about their cultural programming and reflect on the proliferation of our talking head-obsessed culture.
- This weekend, the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus presents the Colorado premiere of an oratorio based on Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. CPR arts reporter Corey Jones attended a recent rehearsal and captured exclusive audio in advance of the opening of “I Am Harvey Milk.”
CPR's the Colorado Art Report airs on Fridays at 10.30 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. Tune in live or access online at any time.
