We are proud to announce our 2019 season!

Jack's life is tough. He and his mother have no money, no food, a run-down house, and an opera-singing cow that won't give milk. Just as he's about to be sent oﬀ to an orphanage, Jack meets a mysterious stranger, who gives him three magic beans, along with an even more mysterious piece of advice that sets Jack climbing up a beanstalk and into the clouds. There, he meets a giant who would do anything to trade places with him. With the help of a wise-cracking hen and a self-absorbed cow, can all of their problems be solved?

September/October: Ghosted: A Paranormal Mystery by Joaquin Aviña
Saturdays & Sundays at 3pm at Chautauqua Park

For many, the haunted stories around Colorado are just that—stories. Recently, however, those stories appear to be coming to life. For a media-hungry “Ghost Hunter,” this is an opportunity of a lifetime. One that cannot be passed up. For a Paranormal Detective and their Assistant, it’s just another day at the oﬃce. Three ghostly cases bring these individuals together to answer the question—Are these real, honest to goodness gGhosts, or are they simply ﬁgments of our imagination? You, the audience, will help to ﬁnd the answer and choose how the stories truly unfold. But more importantly, the answer to why toast falls butter-side down will be revealed.
