Actors from the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company’s latest original production will have the full breadth and majesty of the known universe as their set piece. That’s thanks to the promising creative partnership between the BETC and Fiske Planetarium, one that seeks to fuse the best original live theater that Boulder has to offer with the cutting-edge resources of a thoroughly modern planetarium. A short preview of a brand-new

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night … –Allen Ginsberg, Howl, 1955 While “every generation throws

“The Aliens” is deceptively simple, utterly accomplished
As the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company’s finely unsettling production of “The Aliens” gets underway, you’d do well to get used to silences. In the way the human body is composed of a great deal of water, so playwright Annie Baker’s play is made up of silences. Some will come as a surprise for audiences used to zippy repartee, yet they are perfectly suited to a friendship in which
Silence is golden touch for BETC’s ‘The Aliens’
Life’s most profound moments can arrive at the most unlikely of times. Such is the case in playwright Annie Baker’s minimalistic 2010 drama “The Aliens,” a work that depends as much on silence as on dialogue to drill down to weighty existential questions. Set in a small Vermont town, the action takes place around a picnic table in the back of a coffee shop, where two 30-something friends welcome

Boulder, CO— Fresh off the holiday hit “The SantaLand Diaries” at Off-Center @ the Jones, a remounting of George Brant’s “Grounded” at the Dairy Center, and numerous end-of-year accolades and awards for its 2014 productions, Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC) now stages the work of Guggenheim Fellow and Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Baker. Out back of a tiny Vermont coffee shop, long-time dropouts KJ and Jasper consider the finer points of Bukowski
Laura Norman on Landing Back in ‘Grounded,’ Opening at the Dairy Center
Laura Norman is an actors’ actor who’s been on the theater scene for years, but hasn’t made much of a public splash. In his recent True West Awards, arts journalist John Moore called her “the best local actor you hardly ever get to see.” Perhaps that’s because she’s quietly self-effacing in person. Or perhaps because, while some fine actors dazzle and flash, Norman sinks deeply into her roles to reveal
