The Crud
2017-06-03 20:00 - 21:30, 2017-06-04 15:00 - 16:30, 2017-06-05 20:00 - 21:30, 2017-06-08 20:00 - 21:30, 2017-06-09 20:00 - 21:30, 2017-06-10 20:00 - 21:30 | Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan Street, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
An absurd fairy tale about both the crud on your floor and the crud in your head.
The Crud follows the repetitive days of Dear Deer, Barely Bear, and Broken Baby Doll Detective as they try to navigate their boredom. Nothing is important and everything is of the utmost importance. They pass their time reciting exactly what is happening, watching their Great Pile of Crud, and eating jelly toast. Thanks to the forgettable fellow in the corner, they also get to ponder whether anything is worth remembering.

This is the final full-length production of Buntport Theater Company’s 16th Season and was based on the contents of a storage locker that Buntport purchased at an auction. Like on the television show Storage Wars, Buntport bid on an abandoned locker. Unlike the show, they are not re-selling the contents, but are instead making a play with them.
[$0 – $20]

City Park Jazz: The Other Black (featuring Wesley Watkins)
2017-06-04 18:00 - 20:00 | City Park, Denver, CO, United States
City Park Jazz produces 10 FREE jazz concerts each summer in City Park.
Whether you’re coming for the music, food, or friends, City Park Jazz is the
ground upon where community is built.
The Other Black (featuring Wesley Watkins)

Sunday, June 4, 2017
6:00pm 8:00pm

Newly formed in the late Fall of 2012, this dynamic group started with a mere 9
members and has launched to upwards of 24. That’s right, just about 30 musicians
collaborating to bring you a unique sound and leave you with a smile in your soul.
These are musicians that have already contributed successfully to the scene; from Birds Of A Feather, Bonnie & The Beard, Petals of Spain, The People’s Abstract and more.
Needless to say, upon taking stage – this assortment of artistry commands it’s presence. Their act has been compared to reading an old school Parliament comic book. In a nutshell, this crowd’s get-up is wild, garish, & funky with fresh attire that makes you believe they MUST have a costume designer amongst them somewhere. In short, they are like watching a cartoon come to life.
The Other Black clearly simply loves what they do. Their soul-funk- do-wop mix with a modern squeeze endears them. People are on their feet when The Other Black hits the stage. If you haven’t seen them yet, you will.
