2012 | Best Actor in a Musical

The character of Coalhouse Walker towers over the musical Ragtime, a panoramic take on the history of the early twentieth century based on the E.L. Doctorow novel. We are shown Walker's patient and ultimately victorious courtship of Sarah, the mother of his child; his pride, the insults he endures, and then his violent radicalization. When the actor scheduled to play Walker developed throat problems, understudy Tyrone Robinson took over the role of Walker a short time before Ragtime opened... More »
2012 | Best Costume Design

When the Arvada Center's new production of Hairspray opened last summer, everyone, but everyone, was checking out the costumes. That's because Denver hero and Project Runway superstar Mondo Guerra designed them, putting his way with fresh and professional looks to the test. But in fact, Mondo had worked behind the scenes at the center's theater long before he became nationally famous, and it was a natural step for him to take on this particular costuming job -- which, he told us, was...

2012 | Best Sculpture Show

Collin Parson hit it out of the park with Robert Mangold Retrospective: Time, Space and Motion, a show that's still open in the entire set of galleries on the lower level of the Arvada Center for the Arts. The center's exhibition designer, the twenty-something Parson served as curator of this show as well: The son of sculptor Chuck Parson, he met Mangold, the dean of contemporary sculpture in Colorado, when he was a child. Parson brought in a timeline to map out Mangold's long and... More »
2000 | Best salute to Colorado's contemporary art scene

Kathy Andrews, head curator at the Arvada Center, mounted a huge, history-making exhibit last fall. It was truly a who's who of Colorado art, occupying the entire set of galleries on both floors. On the lower lever, Andrews placed abstract painting and sculpture by the pivotal '70s generation; on the upper floor were artists who emerged in the '80s or '90s. Impressive work by old-timers could be spotted even from the parking lot, where outdoor sculptures by Jerry Wingren, Chuck Parson and... More »

Colorado Shakespeare Festival puts on a serviceable Twelfth Night at the Arvada Center

By Juliet Wittman | Thu, May 17, 2012

There are two major threads in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. There's the primary plot, in which Viola is shipwrecked in Illyria, decides to dress as a man and signs on as a servant to a local nobleman, Orsino, with whom she rapidly falls in love. B... More »
Chess: A Musical is nearly saved by director Rod Lansberry

By Juliet Wittman | Thu, April 12, 2012

Did you understand it? I couldn't hear the words. They just kept yelling and yelling. — Overheard in the women's bathroom after the play The semi-operatic Chess doesn't have a lot of dialogue, and the music ebbs and surges continually like the ... More »

Since Bobby Fischer trounced Boris Spassky in 1972, examples of exhilarating chess drama have been few and far between -- at least in the United States. But the stage version might prove the exception: Chess, A Musical, presented by the Arvada Cen... More »
Moving Experience

By Michael Paglia | Thu, March 29, 2012

Physics, especially the study of movement, is always the focus of Robert Mangold's abstract and kinetic sculptures. The nationally renowned sculptor's career stretches over five decades, and for most of that time, he's been working right here in D... More »
Chess, A Musical: No, really, those two things play together in Arvada

By Kelsey Whipple | Thu, March 22, 2012

Chess comes with almost as many stereotypes (the nerd, the genius, the poorly adjusted savant) and cliches (the pawn, checkmate, knights and chivalry) as it does pieces. But director Rod Lansberry isn... More »
