Instead of rehearsing for her grand return, she meets the young actress who has been hired to replace her.

This dramatic comedy confronts aging, legacy, and honoring the past while embracing an unknown future.

Leonard E. Barrett Jr.  Sings Dean Martin

In Person Performance

November 5, 2025 - 7:30pm

Playing on the Berg-Young Cabaret Stage

Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor, and comedian. Nicknamed the "King of Cool", he is regarded as one of the most popular entertainers of the 20th century.

Martin gained his career breakthrough together with comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin and Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio and television and in films.

Martin became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together with several others formed the Rat Pack.

Smooth, good looking, calm and collected. And yet, I believe we never really knew him.

Come unravel the story of a phenomenal entertainer. I think he was more talented than we realized…

Ghostlight

SIX HAUNTING TALES OF THE THEATRE

In Person Performance

November 12, 2025 - 7:30pm

By Michael R. Duran
Directed by Richard H. Pegg

Playing on the Berg-Young Cabaret Stage

Step into the shadows with Ghostlight—six spine-tingling tales from behind the curtain, where the line between theatre and the supernatural disappears. From unsettling cries in empty theatres, to tragedies from the past, eerie events that blur the line between reality and the supernatural, haunted costume shops, and eerie seances, each story—told by a stage manager, director, professor, costumer, scenic artist, and actor—reveals the chilling mysteries that linger long after the lights go out. Dare to discover the ghosts of the theatre.

“A compellingly performed and well-written exploration of that which makes us shiver, shriek, and shrink, Ghostlight is sure to keep you squirming until the lights come up.” Bob Bows - coloradodrama.com.
