Great For: Kids & Family

This version of the Gothic classic tells the complete story of the romantic monster from the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. The action is continuous and the excitement is nonstop after Van Helsing’s entrance at the opening. The old professor has come to the aid of his friend and student, Dr. Seward, at Whitby Asylum in England. Mina Murray is suffering from a mysterious ailment which threatens to postpone her marriage to Jonathan Harker. Van Helsing has come fresh from scientific detective work in London investigating a frighteningly similar case. Very soon the beast joins them, and he is most serious about his plans for Mina. But the unholy vampire has met his final match in Van Helsing and friends.

Welcome to mime redefined! Comprised of original tales and interactive shorts, DESTINATION: EVERYWHERE is a boisterous, hour-long adventure that invites families to journey through invisible worlds. Set to music, lit in vivid color, and framed by a speaking host to guide even the youngest theater-goers, D:E celebrates the power of simple storytelling.

After mime-troductions, we dive into spooky sleepover tales, a jungle adventure full of untold acts of bravery (Duane boogies his way out of a close shave with a bear), and the making of a robot-concocted smoothie that elicits audience suggestions. We witness perseverance through carnival dart-throwing, study the work-life balance of a superhero on date night, and time travel through the history of Mime.

These performances will be “relaxed” in which the sound and light cues will be gentler, while we relax the theater etiquette that requires silent focus and stillness as a way to make the theater-going experience more accessible. Attendees of all ages, abilities, and needs are welcome, including kids on the autism spectrum and nursing mothers with babies who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend a show.

Lori “Shelvis” Muha is an entertainment powerhouse. She captures the audience with her amazing vocals and high-energy performances.
Focusing on the music of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, and other Rockabilly pioneers, she and her band of roustabouts transport the audience to a time when rock was born. Her loyal fan base packs the house wherever they play and stays until the end. It’s not a gig, it’s a show!
The entertainment is uniquely created by Shelvis, (Lori Muha). This one-of-a-kind artist provides nothing short of electrifying impersonations of some of our most beloved male entertainers, yet recreated and delivered by a female artist!
Lori Marie Muha aka “Shelvis” was born in NJ spending her early years in various bands and playing drums. She enjoys music, dance, theatre, and participating in showmanship that brings complete customer satisfaction to all those who have the pleasure to see her show.
Shelvis continues to consistently draw large crowds and maintain a “sold out” status at local venues statewide.
Shelvis’ love for people and the stage will be quite evident from start to finish! We guarantee you will love the show!

The Rocky Mountain Compassionate Communication Network (RMCCN) is hosting a “Training Festival” on Zoom in early November.

Enroll for free; make a donation if you can.

In these tumultuous times, one thing is clear – if we want to live our values of unity, freedom, trust, mutual care and respect, we need to develop the competency and capacity to do so. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a body of work created by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD that helps us develop self- responsibility, deepen our understanding of ourselves and others, and create meaningful dialogues. NVC provides us with concrete tools to align our language with what we really value.

We will have twelve trainers and 17 events to choose from. Everyone is volunteering their time and talent to share their skills and support RMCCN.
We are excited to share with you how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is being applied in many areas of life like authentic self-connection, connecting across differences, resolving conflicts and creating environments that support us in having power together. These sessions are open to anyone who wants to deepen their communication skills.

Enroll for free; make a donation if you can.

To see the sessions being offered and enroll, go to:    https://rmccn.org/rmccn-training-festival-fall-2021
There is a link to register for multiple sessions at:    https://rmccn.org/training-festival-fall-2021-donation-and-multiple-session-enrollment

“If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
– Lilla Watson

Ryan recently released his first stand-up special. The one-hour Netflix original Happy Face, follows a wealth of television appearances and a non-stop headlining tour. Armed with the unique perspective of growing up in rural Idaho to become a favorite in the New York stand-up comedy scene, he’s one-of-a-kind. He’s been named one of Rolling Stone’s Five Comics to Watch, and recent appearances include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, and opening spots for Jerry Seinfeld. Ryan is endearing stand-up lovers, and his future is bright.

“One of the most reliably funny regulars at the Comedy Cellar, an observational comic who often riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness.” –The New York Times

“It was fresh, poignant, and light-hearted without sacrificing depth.” – Forget The Box review of Ryan’s show “Edgy, Boundary-Pushing Comedian” at the 2017 Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival

This version of the Gothic classic tells the complete story of the romantic monster from the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. The action is continuous and the excitement is nonstop after Van Helsing’s entrance at the opening. The old professor has come to the aid of his friend and student, Dr. Seward, at Whitby Asylum in England. Mina Murray is suffering from a mysterious ailment which threatens to postpone her marriage to Jonathan Harker. Van Helsing has come fresh from scientific detective work in London investigating a frighteningly similar case. Very soon the beast joins them, and he is most serious about his plans for Mina. But the unholy vampire has met his final match in Van Helsing and friends.

Our hikes are usually at a moderate level/pace and last no more than 2 hours. 

When you first arrive, you will be greeted by your hiking guide who will lead the way down the trail to each scene location.  Once you arrive at a scene location, you can sit back and relax and watch a scene from the production.  Once the scene is complete, we all gather our things and hike to the next location.

Boulder Opera brings the enchanting L’enfant et les sortilèges (The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts) by Ravel with stage direction by Dana Kinney, and music direction by Steven Aguiló-Arbues.

A lazy child has been grounded. Ordered to stay in his bedroom until dinner time, he takes out his anger on the animals and objects around him. He knocks over a tea service, torments a squirrel and a cat, tears up the tapestry and then his books. Suddenly, as if by magic, these innocent victims come to life and decide to get their revenge.

The Opera is one hour long, sung in French with English subtitles. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
