The Crud
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: Pete Wernick & FLEXIGRASS
2017-06-11 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.
Pete Wernick & FLEXIGRASS is a supercharged blend of bluegrass with classic jazz and “Dr. Banjo” originals. The all-star group blazes new trails everywhere they play, as young vibraphone master Greg Harris and hot clarinetist Bill Pontarelli trade licks with Wernick and the band’s tight arrangements provide many surprises. Joan Wernick’s sparkling vocals range from soulful bluegrass to stylish jazz and Kris Ditson (drums) and Roger Johns (bass) provide a strong pulse that doesn’t overpower, but pops and sizzles!
Surprising traditionalists is nothing new to bluegrass Grammy-nominated Wernick. The Hot Rize banjoist and 15-year president of the International Bluegrass Music Association is “among the most creative and just plain fun musicians in (blue, new, jazz) grass” according to Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
Based on a deep understanding of musical tradition, Wernick follows the lead of important musical innovators by fusing compatible sounds and building an original and entertaining set of sounds. The band has outlasted the skeptics and the audiences roar their approval!

Experience a new way to use a city street. This summer, the Square on 21st will offer a park-like public space in Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood where residents and visitors can relax in the shade, play lawn games, sip early morning coffee, sample late-night eats, and enjoy activities for all ages (and dogs too!). This pop-up park between Larimer and Lawrence is the brainchild of area residents and business owners who worked with city planners to envision an underused public street as an oasis in downtown. The Square on 21st is scheduled to be open from June 15 to August 15.
Some upcoming events at the Square (see more events at link above): FRI 6/16, 8p – 12a: Free Silent Disco Party; Every Thursday evening at 6p, starting June 22, BikeDenver will lead free group bike rides around the neighborhood.
