Gee's Bend & The Merry Wives of Windsor at the DCPA
Gee's: March 14th - April 19th - The Space Theatre - Opening Night: March 20th
MWW: March 21st - April 19th - The Stage Theatre
Spring comes to the Denver Center Theater Company with the heartfelt inspiration of Gee's Bend by Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder and an elegant 1920s setting for William Shakespeare's boisterous romp The Merry Wives of Windsor. One critic dubs Wilder's new play "a glorious piece of theatrical handiwork that uses the Civil Rights Movement as a thread for stitching together the rich emotional material of a close-knit family of quilters." In MWW, Shakespeare's rambunctious comedy of rascals, secret identities, jealousy and romance is set in a small 1920s English town.

One Night Only - Monday, March 24th - 8:00 pm
I Love a Piano is an enchanting new musical journey spanning seven decades of American history as seen through the perceptive and hopeful eyes of Irving Berlin. From the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the innocent optimism of the 1950's. Timeless classics, such as "White Christmas," "God Bless America," "Puttin' On The Ritz," and "There's No Business Like Show Business," do more than define the music of a generation, they define the music of our country.
