Vintage Theatre Announces VYP, The Vintage Youth Program

    
Vintage Theatre, known for providing the Denver area with superb theatre since 2008, is thrilled to announce an exciting aspect to its already phenomenal line up of quality programming. VYP, the Vintage Youth Program will make its debut in January 2015. Going hand in hand with the Vintage philosophy of offering everything from solid classics to the cutting edge, VYP will also cover the theatrical gamut presenting three aspects to our youth program.

First, we will offer a selection of 10 week classes, beginning in February, for ages 6 through 18 year olds. All classes will culminate with a production for family and friends on the main stage complete with set, costumes, props, lighting and sound. The focus for all of our classes will be encouraging a classically trained environment while keeping the content fun, unique and creative. The spring session will then segue into a fun-filled summer session with several three-four week drama camps and a number of one week themed workshops.

Next, because of the uniqueness and intimacy of our theatre, we are very excited to open up the theatre for week day field trips; giving schools, scouting groups, or home school groups an opportunity to create their own private field trip at a date and time convenient for them. Field trips will include a back stage walk thru with a talk back session and a participation play or full musical production of their choice.

Last, but not least, VYP will be providing outreach programming to the schools. An array of educational workshops, artist in residency programs and professional touring shows are available.

The Vintage Youth Program will be headed up by Pamela Clifton. A veteran of children’s theatre, Pamela has been writing, acting, directing and teaching in various theatres and venues all over Colorado for over 30 years. She has been in on the ground floor helping develop programs for children at The Arvada Center, Boulder’s Dinner Theater, University of Denver and South Suburban Parks and Recreation. She spent six years as the Education Coordinator for Town Hall Arts Center and has had her own touring company, The Playmakers, which has been bringing the performing arts in the form of educational workshops and performances to the schools since 1984.

Vintage Theatre is located at 1468 Dayton St. in Aurora. Full descriptions of workshops, classes, field trips and touring shows can be found at www.vintagetheatre.org or call 303-856-7830.

Colfax History: Lane's Tavern


Sunday, January 25, 2015

Miss Colfax turned Miss America

Marilyn Van Derbur, graduate of East High School on Colfax Avenue, was crowned Miss America while she was a student at the University of Colorado in 1958. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree, with Phi Beta Kappa honors.

Van Derbur chose motivational speaking as her career and was later named "Outstanding Woman Speaker in America" after 30,000 questionnaires were sent to business and civic meeting planners asking whom they considered to be the outstanding speaker. For 16 years, she was the only woman guest lecturer for General Motors.

Marilyn has received numerous awards and acknowledgments for her work, including being the first woman to be given the highest speaking award possible by the National Speakers Association and induction into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. With a desire to motivate teenagers as well as executives, Marilyn also became United Air Lines "Youth Speaker" and addressed 50 youth conferences each year.

During the course of her exceptional motivational speaking career Van Derbur has produced 24 films, two of which won national and international awards. One was shown on prime-time PBS and eight others have been shown in hundreds of classrooms. Marilyn is requested nationwide as a prominent convention keynote and motivational speaker, now speaking on the topic of sexual abuse prevention and recovery.

As a childhood incest survivor, she has devoted much of her adult life to raising national awareness and understanding of sexual abuse and its long-term effects. In 1989 her family funded an adult incest survivor program in Denver, and in 1993 she co-founded two national not-for-profit organizations dedicated to public education and strengthening laws protecting victims of sexual abuse.

For her tireless work in the area of childhood sexual trauma awareness Marilyn has received many awards and much recognition including, the "Exceptional Achievement in Public Service from the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Washington D.C.". Since her story of incest became public, Marilyn has spoken in more than 235 cities and answered over 8,000 letters and thousands of emails from survivors looking to her for support.

Marilyn and her husband Larry live in Denver.

You can email Marilyn any time at  Marilyn@MarilynVanDerbur.com. She always answers all of her emails. Please limit your comments to one paragraph so Marilyn can continue to personally answer all her emails.

Bill Waugh, founder of iconic Denver landmark Casa Bonita, dies at the age of 79

Bill Waugh
Bill Waugh, founder of Lakewood, Colorado's Casa Bonita Mexican restaurant, died at the age of 79 on Tuesday.

Waugh, whose restaurants also include the Taco Bueno, Casa Viva, Burger Street, and Crystal's Pizza chains,  passed away in hospice care in Dallas, according to an obituary published in the Dallas Morning News.

"He was both a businessman and an artist, and that artistic training translated into great attention to detail," said Don Williams, former CEO of Trammell Crow Co. and a friend of Waugh's, in a Dallas Morning News article. "He was a genuine entrepreneur -- but an entrepreneur with taste... And he was a man of faith who sought to encourage other people."

The Colfax Avenue landmark, with its unique entertainment options including western gunfights, Acapulco cliff divers, Black Bart's Cave, and a 500 pound gorilla name Chiquita, opened its doors on March 27, 1974, and is enjoying a resurgence of fame after being featured on the Comedy Central show "South Park."

Since its opening at 6715 W Colfax Ave., in what was once a Joslin's department store, Casa Bonita has been host to millions of guests and has become a favorite destination for both kids and adults alike. In order to build Casa Bonita, officials said they brought in some of the most renowned architects and carpenters, and constructed as they went.

The Book of Mormon, as well as other famous productions, have held cast parties in the restaurant and famous local bands such as The Fray, have held CD release parties there.

 Casa Bonita Facts:
  •  The restaurant's waterfall stands 30 feet tall, and features a 14-foot deep lagoon surrounded by rocky cliffs reminiscent of those in Acapulco Mexico. 
  • The Casa Bonita tower stands 85 feet tall and is capped with a gold leaf dome. On top of the dome stands Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor.
  • The 20-foot wide by 20-foot high fountain was shipped in pieces from Guadalajara and is surrounded on three sides by authentic Mexican décor.
  • There are three levels totaling 52,000 square feet, making the facility the largest restaurant under one roof on the North American continent.
  • In the Gold Mine section of Casa Bonita there are real gold flakes embedded in the rock formations. The Silver Mine is intentionally a few feet lower because silver is mined deeper in the ground than gold. Also, many of the wood trusses in the mine area are from actual working mines. Come check it out (but watch out for the sleeping miner).

Je Suis Martin - Be The Dream

My spin on the popular Charlie Hebdo sign of support was on purpose, and was designed to illustrate my understanding of the day, and who I truly am. 

The French part reflects how freedom of speech, equality, and our fight against injustice and racism is an issue that goes beyond our nation's borders.


Je Suis Martin represents all who were taken from us with a bullet, simply for exercising their right to express what they believe needs to be said.


Why Martin? Because I feel I identify more with the message of Martin Luther King Jr. and how he chose to deliver it, than that of Charlie.


I don't have to be Charlie to show my support of freedom of speech and condemn the terrorist attacks in Paris. I should be able to say I'm Not Charlie and stand with those who choose to say they are.

Je Suis Martin is how I choose to use my freedom of speech to communicate respect and compassion.
Just for fun, I also chose to personalize this sign with a more subtle design. The 'EA' in DREAM was also written in red to represent my Alma Mater, East High School. It's mascot is Angels (East Angels) and it's colors are red and white. I love that the Marade walks right past it from the MLK statue in City Park, and down Colfax Ave to Civic Center Park in front of the Colorado State Capitol.


The EA also represents public schools, the importance of education, and having the best teachers our tax dollars can fund. Knowledge is power! - by Tommy Kaui Nahulu

Spiritual Fiction Author Returns to Hometown for Book Signing at Tattered Cover

The Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver, CO will feature Rebecca Tinkle on February 21, 2015 to sign her latest spiritual fiction, The Secret of Mago Castle.

spiritual fiction author Rebecca Tinkle in Sedona AZ
The Secret of Mago Castle author Rebecca Tinkle in Sedona, Arizona
The Secret of Mago Castle is a call to the heart to remember our magnificence as human beings in order to effect a real change in the world. 
Denver, CO (PRWEB)

From 2 to 3 pm on Saturday, February 21st, Rebecca Tinkle will give a talk and sign copies of her latest spiritual fiction release, “The Secret of Mago Castle,” at famous Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver, Colorado. She can be found at their two-floor 2526 East Colfax Avenue location, which is in the Bonfils-Lowenstein Theater. Free parking is available streetside or in a garage off of Elizabeth or Columbine Streets.
“The Secret of Mago Castle” is an inspired, fast-paced adventure novel set in Sedona, Arizona that addresses the real issues that humanity currently faces. Tinkle describes the book as “a call to the heart to remember our magnificence as human beings in order to effect a real change in the world.”

In the story, this call is answered by Angeline, the protagonist, and her four partners-in-consciousness, Toby, Noah, Suna, and Leuters as they discover secrets from an ancient past that help uncover their own latent supernatural abilities, which propel them into an adventure that tests the boundaries of their human spirit as well as their reality. They face impossible odds as they alchemize the negative energy infecting the consciousness of humanity, while radical groups and government agencies try to shut them down at any cost. Time is running out. If they fail, humanity will perish and life on the earth will end forever.

“ ‘The Secret of Mago Castle’ is not just another book,” says Tinkle, “it’s a glimpse into the purest fiber of our human spirit and the great possibilities for our world if we would only remember who we really are.”
Gisela Dixon, a reviewer for Readers’ Favorite, called the novel “an enthralling read! . . . The Secret of Mago Castle a page-turner. Rebecca’s style is simple, yet artistic.”

Rebecca Tinkle is an American writer and film producer described as “two parts Buddha and one part fairy godmother.” She penned her first novel in 2008 after a life-changing spiritual awakening while visiting South Korea. As a novelist, Rebecca's style has also been described as innovative, mystical, and vivid. She lives in Sedona, Arizona.

The Tattered Cover Book Store has been serving the Denver metropolitan area since 1971. It grew from a small 950 square-foot store into one of the premier bookstores in the United States. It boasts 3 expansive and unique locations in the greater Denver area and a brand new gateway store for commuters at the Union Station bus and train concourse.

The author's appearance there is a part of a series of book signings she'll be giving in the southwestern United States, particularly in her home state of Colorado and her current state of Arizona. She has also given talks online and plans more in the future.

"The Secret of Mago Castle" was published in October 2014 by Best Life Media, an independent publisher located in Sedona that produces books, CDs, DVDs, and other tools that support a lifestyle based on continuous personal growth and enrichment.

Colfax History: The Austin Building

Austin Building drawing by Karl Christian Krumpholz
Denver architecture is quite spectacular and we at Studio Colfax wanted to share a bit of history of our new home, the Austin Building (2400-2418 East Colfax Avenue).

Built in 1904, Denver native Frank A. Austin purchased this prominent corner site to erect luxury apartments above retail space that housed business' such as a pharmacy, interior decorating company, delicatessen, furniture repair shop, a florist and much more. All catering to the five to seven room apartments, these residents had it all at their doorsteps. Maaco, the building next door, was a black and white cab service company that made it easy for these residents to enjoy the city at a moments notice.

Denver architect, Audley W. Reynolds, who also lived in the building, designed the building as a restrained expression of Italian Renaissance Revival style with differing window treatments on each story, an enriched cornice, and Ionic columns. There were only eleven apartments with all of the modern technologies of the time and of course those classic mountain views to the west. The Austin is the only known example of Reynold's work in Colorado.

Vintage Theatre presents Other Desert Cities

Vintage Theatre presents
Other Desert Cities
 by Jon Robin Baitz
Directed by Bernie Cardell

January 16 - March 1, 2015

 

Vintage Theatre presents “Other Desert Cities” January 16 through March 1 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora 80010. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 2:30 p.m. and Saturday, February 28 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $28, $24 in advance and available online at www.vintagetheatre.org or by calling 303-856-7830. Group discounts for 6+ are available.

The family of Polly and Lyman Wyeth has gathered for Christmas in Palm Springs, California. Their daughter Brooke Wyeth returns home after six years. Just out of rehab, Polly's sister Silda is also visiting. Brooke announces to her family that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's history—a wound they don't want reopened. That event is the suicide of her late brother Henry, who had been involved with the radical underground subculture.

Director Bernie Cardell has assembled a stellar cast that includes Molly Killoran (Brooke Wyeth), Jan Cleveland (Polly Wyeth), Paul Page (Lyman Wyeth), Libby Rife (Silda Grauman) and Luke Sorge (Trip Wyeth).

“Other Desert Cities” was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  The play's name refers to a control city guide sign on eastbound Interstate 10 in California, which indicates that the freeway is headed towards Indio, California and "other Desert Cities" (that is, the rest of the Coachella Valley).
