The upcoming Denver Nickel + Dime Extravaganza features 32 animated shorts from around the globe. Places you’ve possibly heard of like Germany, Israel, Spain, New York, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Hungary, Los Angeles, Ireland, France, and Colorado Springs! Plus, this hilarious, fascinating and totally animated festival is hosted by the one and only Bearver C. Rogers. Make sure to come early to enjoy a short pre-show marathon of shorts featuring the evening’s host.

Making appearances to rap with Bearver are animation directors Bill Plympton, Debra Solomon, Ross Bollinger (Pencilmation), Sabrina Cotugno, Graham Annable (Grickle), Jake Armstrong, Joy + Noelle, Eoin Duffy, Yotam Perel, Kent Leon Welling, Nacho Rodríguez, Brandon & Lisa Ray (Paper Brain Productions) and Tammy Chang. (Guests are IN the show, not AT it.)

The Bug Theatre believes in the spirit of artistry as the driving force behind every production, in the integrity of the creative individual, and in the power of shared artistic experiences.
