The Colorado Theatre Guild (CTG) is pleased to announce the Summer/Fall Theatre Night Out subscription package. Held on the third Friday of every month, these events celebrate the wide variety of theatre programs throughout the region. Each participating theatre offers TNO subscribers drastically reduced ticket prices and a reception either before or after the show.

Due to the popularity of our Winter/Summer subscription, the Guild is offering several more theatre and show choices to expand subscription availability.

This 5-play subscription series features the choice among twelve shows for only $92. Rounding out the package is the opportunity to add the December production of "September Shoes" at the Denver Center Theatre Company for the price of only $30 per ticket - a savings of 30%.

For more information, please contact Gloria Shanstrom at 303-778-7724 or email Shanstrom@comcast.net or go online at www.coloradotheatreguild.org.

www.backstagetheatre.com
When four quarreling lovers flee into a magical forest, followed by a group of bumbling blue-collar workers intent on rehearsing their play there, they get tangled in the web of the King and Queen of the Fairies and nothing will ever be the same. A delightfully silly tale of love and mistaken identity that has tickled the funny bones of old and young alike for four centuries.

Colorado Shakespeare Festival in Boulder; Twelfth Night

www.coloradoshakes.org
Directions to the Festival
Puritans and overly sober people beware! In Twelfth Night, the lords of misrule are afoot in the form of fat Sir Toby Belch and his comrades. Carnival celebrations everywhere feature the figure of Folly-a gross character given to drink, food and fooling, who in overindulgence brings balance to an overly serious world. (It's no surprise then that Twelfth Night was probably written for a London winter carnival season.) A subtle and wickedly funny plot, with a thoroughly satisfying ending.

PHAMALy at Denver Center; Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The Space Theatre at the Denver Performing Arts Complex
Box Office: 303-893-4100 Performance time: 8pm

Set in 1905 in Lower Manhattan, 35-year old Esther Mills makes her living by sewing exquisite lingerie for socialites and women of ill repute alike. Opportunities are scarce for a single, "colored" woman but her skills and discretion are much in demand and Esther manages to put aside money in the hopes of someday opening her own beauty parlor. Esther has another dream: to fall in love and get married. But does finding happiness take more than one woman's determination?

The evening begins at a fairground, with an eerie rendition of "Hail to the Chief" playing in the background. A Proprietor ballyhoos his game - "Kill a President, Win a Prize", as eight figures come forward one by one to chance their luck. We come to realize that these figures are assassins drawn from over a century of American history.

Susie, a recently blinded woman is unwittingly in possession of a doll filled with drugs. The dealers who want it concoct an elaborate scheme to trick her into handing it over to him. Her blindness is the key to them searching the apartment for the doll. A great psychological thriller with a twist: the audience knows exactly what's happening but must watch the heroine try to figure it out on her own.

Mercury Café; Allied Witches, Riding the Nightmare
2199 California Street, Denver
Box Office: 303-294-9258 Performance time: 7:30
www.mercurycafe.com
This timely political Tragic/Comedy is full of seasonal magic, wickedness and
spirituality. Brujas & Calaveras take the audience on a journey to the cosmos and back, laughing all the way. Bruhahahahaha!

Paragon Theatre Company; Misery
Phoenix Theatre, 1124 Sante Fe Drive
Box Office: 303.300.2210 Performance time: 7:30pm
www.paragontheatre.com
Just in time for Halloween, Paragon will present Misery, Simon Moore's stunning stage adaptation of Stephen King's famed novel of the same name. The story of a famous romance novelist who is imprisoned by his "number one fan" after he is injured in a car accident in a remote area, Misery is a dark and engrossing exploration of celebrity and the dangerous obsessions that fame can feed. At times funny and shocking, Moore's adaptation of King's story is a compelling thriller guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their
seats.

This quirky and hugely imaginative dark comedy follows the developing romance between a strange young drifter and a drug-addled divorcée.
Holed up in a claustrophobic Oklahoma City motel room, the two suspect themselves to be the victims of a top-secret government experiment. Could they be right? This Hitchcockian thriller packs a powerful sting. Winner of the 2004 Lucille Lortel award for Outstanding Play
