New options for the bored at heart
After the long hiatus of winter break, new theater, dance and
radio events give plenty of chances to jump right back in to the
Fort Collins fine arts scene.
The reprise production of a 2002 favorite, “Over the Hills and
Through the Woods,” is on show at the Rialto Theater in Loveland on
Jan. 30 and Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. A charming piece, presented by the
Acting Company in Loveland, this play showcases the attempts of an
earnest family to marry off their 30-year-old Italian son. Sure to
bring a smile to the darkest of souls. Tickets are $12 for adults
and $11 for seniors.
KRFC 88.9FM Radio begins its new radio drama, “Portals,” on
Sunday. The 13-episode tale of fantasy will air on Sunday
afternoons from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. until April 18. Featuring the
music of local artists, “Portals” is a tale of an enchanted
warehouse with doors to alternate dimensions. As the characters
grow more involved with the discovery of this time portal, they
must choose between the wonders and the horrors that inhabit the
different worlds that lie within. A production of Open Stage
Theatre & Company, “Portals” is a unique radio experience for
any Sunday afternoon.
If dance is your fancy, don’t miss a chance to attend The
Paupers Ball, this Saturday from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Dance swing,
Latin, tango, foxtrot, polka and even bust out some waltz with a
partner or go solo, nobody’s watching. Swanky or formal dress is
encouraged and the Friends of Traditional Dance are giving a free
lesson beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $11.99 at the door and
include sub-gourmet snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. The Paupers
Ball is held at City Park Center in Fort Collins located on
Mulberry.
The award winning play “Proof” by David Aubern shows at the
Lincoln Center in Fort Collins Friday and Saturday nights through
Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. Directer Denise Burson Freestone, explores the
wild side of genius and the curiosities and longings for love and
trust.
