The\u00a0 Curious Theatre Company\u00a0 2020-2021 season lineup is packed with premieres that take aim at some of society\u2019s most pressing issues.<\/p>\n
The center piece of the Denver theater company\u2019s 23rd performance season is the world premiere of \u201cRefuge.\u201d According to a release, the bilingual play was in development with Curious for 18 months, and involved artists from North and South America. Written by Andrew Rosendorf\u00a0 and, featuring original music and lyrics by Satya Jnani Chavez\u00a0 and puppetry, it follows a young Honduran girl who crosses the U.S. border.<\/p>\n
Also are the lineup are regional premieres of two plays that had popular runs on Broadway. \u201cThe Lifespan of a Fact\u201d is about a meticulous fact-checker who has a tussle with an author who believes narrative trumps accuracy. And \u201cAmerican Son\u201d tackles racial divisions through the story of interracial parents trying to understand what happened to their son.<\/p>\n
“Living in such incredibly\u00a0 polarized times right now, sometimes even the simplest of conversations can feel impossible when we cannot even agree on the common starting ground of facts, producing artistic director Chip Walton said in a statement. Our lived experiences have become so divided and separate that we no longer speak one shared language, but rather find ourselves talking about the exact same thing while not understanding each other at all. So it should be no surprise that our 23rd Season features a collection of the newest and boldest American plays that explore precisely this landscape.<\/p>\n
The season will finish with two yet-to-be-announced plays. Curious described one of those works as immediate, powerful and shows a point of view not normally seen in the American theatre. The final show not been determined yet. In the release, the theater company said it\u2019s holding that slot as we sift through many possibilities.<\/p>\n
As Curious’ focus is on the very latest, most relevant work, sometimes our timelines and those of agents don’t quite line up, the release said. The new season runs\u00a0 September 2020 through June 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
