All About #COArts Benefiting In Focus Season 9 and Denver Actors Fund With A Special Screenplay Reading of All About Eve

All About #COArts, benefiting In Focus S9 and Denver Actors Fund, takes place on Monday, June 13 at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. The evening begins with a reception at 7 p.m. Hors d'oeuvres and desserts are provided by La Patisserie Francaise and Bear Creek Distillery has created a signature cocktail for this event. The special screenplay reading of All About Eve begins at 8 p.m.

In All About Eve, Eve Harrington is waiting backstage to meet her "idol" aging Broadway Star, Margo Channing. Their friendship begins innocently enough but one person sees through Eve's evil plan, which is to take her parts and fiancé.

The reading is directed by Billie McBride and features a cast of Denver's most well known actors including Heather Lacy, Paul Page, Sylvia Gregory, Sam Gregory, Billie McBride, Michael J. Duran, Adrian Egolf, Joey Wishnia, Candy Brown, Emily Van Fleet, Robert Kramer, David Nehls with arts reporter Eden Lane joining the cast in the fun.

Eden Lane is the creator, host and producer of “In Focus with Eden Lane,” a Colorado Pubic Television weekly program celebrating the arts and culture. She says, "As we kick-off our season 9 funding campaign with a live theatrical event, it was the perfect opportunity to step up and support the Denver Actors Fund in way we aren't able to do as a television show. We can't put out a "DAF Tap Shoe" in our viewers living rooms, so we will use this night to share the proceeds with the Denver Actors Fund 50/50."
