A budget brouhaha in Boulder over arts funding

Did the city council pull the rug out from under voter-approved dollars? Plus, an interview with the team behind Local Theater’s world premiere of ‘237 Virginia Ave.’

In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex
Miller and Toni Tresca take a look at all of the live theatre happening around the state and what’s coming up in May. Toni also lays out some of the details of a story he co-wrote in the Boulder Weekly about how the City of Boulder appears to be changing the terms of how 2023’s voter-approve ballot measure will allocate funding for the arts in
the state’s largest university town.

Plus, Alex gets the low-down on the world premiere of David
Myers’ new play 237 Virginia Ave. being produced by Local Theatre Company. We hear from the two actors — Jacob Dresch and Lawrence Hecht — along with co-director Nick Chase about how the dark comedy came together. The play
opens at the Denver Savoy May 2. Info & tix
