MEET THE CAST

CO2020, BETC’s first devised work, chronicles the state of our state. This documentary theatre project explores the seismic events of the past year through the diverse voices of students, healthcare workers, local politicians, faith leaders, activists, nonprofit leaders, police officers, artists, parents, and educators. Devised from over 50 interviews with Colorado residents, this unforgettable show captures our frustrations, fears, heartaches, and hopes in this historic moment. CO2020 streams April 5-18, 2021.

This world premiere video documentary is partially funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Boulder Arts Commission, SCFD, Shubert Foundation, and Colorado Creative Industries.
