The Denver Center Theatre Company concludes the season by opening a new production of the inspiring pioneer musical 'Quilters' by Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek, music and lyrics by Barbara Damashek – one of the most honored and best loved world premieres in the company’s 30 season history.
In celebration of the 'Quilters' homecoming, a special exhibit of quilts will be on display in the main lobby of the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex. The exhibit, collected through a nationwide search for “quilts with a story” by The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, will include the original quilt from the world premiere production of Quilters and more than 30 others.
Among the quilts on display will be panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt – the largest ongoing community arts project in the world – commemorating the lives of more than 40,000 individuals.
Brenda Ohlschwager, Executive Director of the museum said, "It is an honor to celebrate the legacy of quilters and to be a part of the 'Quilters' homecoming."
Hours of the exhibit are 5pm to 8pm Monday – Saturday (May 22 – June 20) and Tuesday – Sunday (June 23 – July 12).
