Things To do In Denver When You're Gay: OUT @ Curious with Chris Parente

Channel 2's feature reporter Chris Parente (pictured left) returns as host for the 3rd annual “OUT @ Curious” - a celebration of GLBT community in Denver presented in partnership with One Colorado on Wednesday, February 2 at 6pm.

“OUT @ Curious” features a pre-show open bar and hor d’ouevres reception backstage at Curious Theatre Company, followed by Annie Baker’s acclaimed new comedy, 'Circle Mirror Transformation'.

Called "absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny" by The New York Times, the play follows a group of five misfit strangers learning about life, romance and hula hoops in an adult Creative Drama class in Shirley, Vermont. Named one of the top ten plays of 2009 by The New York Times, Time Out New York, and The New Yorker, the show was enormously popular with audiences, as well as critics.

The ensemble cast- comprised entirely of new-comers to the Curious stage- includes Denver all-stars Mark Rubald, Barbra Andrews, Bob Buckley, Erica Sarzin-Borrillo and newcomer Meredith Young.

Following the show, a VIP party will be held backstage with Parente and the cast.

Tickets: $40/$50 includes the pre-show reception and performance. $100 includes premium seating, pre-show reception and the VIP post-show party. The event is a fundraiser for Curious Theatre Company, with a portion of proceeds benefiting One Colorado. Buy at www.curioustheatre.org or 303-623-0524.
