An Evening with Singer-Songwriter Antonio Lopez

In the hands of six incredible actor-musicians &mdash; the same ensemble behind Fair is Foul &mdash; this tale of violent delights meets a violent, silent end. Underscored with live music and directed by DTE&#39;s own Rhianna DeVries, this dynamic take on an iconic tragedy explores new depths of romance, passion, and violence. After debuting at the University of Denver&#39;s White Box Theatre, the production travels home to our beloved outdoor stage for a three-week Steamboat run. Join us July 6&ndash;23 at the Branham Amphitheatre and let the sounds of swords and strings transport you into Verona under the stars. Every ticket and donation helps ensure PikNik can keep bringing professional theatre to the Yampa Valley for years to come. This summer, Shakespeare&#39;s most famous love story comes home to Steamboat. For nearly 20 years, PikNik Theatre has brought professional, accessible theatre to the Yampa Valley &mdash; and now we&#39;re doing something we&#39;ve never done before. In our first-ever co-production, PikNik Theatre and Denver Theatre Ensemble join forces for a bold, live-music-driven Romeo &amp; Juliet.

Romeo & Juliet

Antes de la disputa. Antes de la tragedia. Antes de que Romeo posara sus ojos en Julieta, hab&iacute;a una historia esperando ser contada. Fair is Foul es un musical original que act&uacute;a como precuela de Romeo y Julieta de Shakespeare, escrito e interpretado por un elenco de cinco actores-m&uacute;sicos profesionales. A partes iguales concierto y teatro, esta &iacute;ntima producci&oacute;n al aire libre explora el mundo de Verona antes de que todo se desmoronara. Dirigida por Rhianna DeVries del Denver Theatre Ensemble y interpretada bajo el cielo estival en el Branham Amphitheatre, Fair is Foul es una noche de diversi&oacute;n como ninguna otra en el Valle de Yampa esta temporada. 5 de julio: Domingo: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre (Noche de Inauguraci&oacute;n)8 de julio: Mi&eacute;rcoles: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre12 de julio: Domingo: 6:30 PM: Library Lawn14 de julio: Martes: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre16 de julio: Jueves: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre20 de julio: Lunes: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre22 de julio: Mi&eacute;rcoles: 6:30 PM: Branham Amphitheatre *Nota: Las ubicaciones del 14 y 16 de julio pueden cambiar a Jardines Bot&aacute;nicos &mdash; regrese para actualizaciones.*

Justo es Sucio

Before the feud. Before the tragedy. Before Romeo ever laid eyes on Juliet, there was a story waiting to be told. Fair is Foul is an original musical prequel to Shakespeare&#39;s Romeo &amp; Juliet, written&nbsp;by Rhianna DeVries with music and lyrics by Claylish Coldiron, and&nbsp;performed by a cast of&nbsp;six&nbsp;professional actor-musicians.&nbsp;Fresh&nbsp;off world debut in Denver, this intimate outdoor production explores the&nbsp;story before the story. Directed by Rhianna DeVries of the Denver Theatre Ensemble and performed under the summer sky at Branham Amphitheatre, Fair is Foul is a night out unlike anything else in the Yampa Valley this season.

GALA DE AMOR Y LEGADO en el Anfiteatro Branham

After nearly five years of construction, Stuart Handloff&rsquo;s dream of a permanent outdoor home for the performing arts in Steamboat Springs has become a reality. With Stuart&rsquo;s blessing, we have launched &ldquo;Buy the Stage for Stuart,&rdquo; a campaign to raise $50,000 and secure the naming of the stage in his honor. In just a few days, our friends and supporters have already given $17,000. Now, with only one week remaining before the Amphitheater Gala on July 19th, we are asking our community to help us close the gap. Our hope is to present his son, Nick, with this gift at the gala with the news that his father&rsquo;s legacy will permanently live at the Amphitheater he worked so hard to build. Every gift brings us closer. Help us buy the stage Stuart built, give it back to him, and ensure that his name remains part of the place he dreamed into existence.
