#22: All the world’s a stage, but Colorado has a special place in the land of theater. Carrie is joined by Alex Miller of OnStageColorado.com to talk about theater culture in Colorado. They discuss what makes the theater scene here so vibrant and unique, where to find both popular and tucked-away theaters in Colorado, and how to start attending shows if you’re new to the theater world.

Alex shares a run down of some of the 13 professional theater companies across the state. This includes larger theater companies at the Denver Center and the Arvada Center, and smaller theater troupes like Backstage Theater in Breckenridge that’s still going strong after 40+ seasons.

He also shares some of his favorite hidden gems, like Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden (a small theater with a saloon vibe) and the Lake Dillon Theatre Company in Silverthorne, which is housed in a beautiful new arts complex.

Finally, Alex shares tips for how to look for and pick shows across the state, whether you’re newer to the theater scene or a seasoned theater-goer.

We hope this inspires you to check out the Colorado theater scene. If you’re looking for a high-caliber touring Broadway show or a local production in a small mountain town, there’s a show for everyone!
