Denver – Where Is The Theatre Of Protest?

Though ten Denver theatres are participating in the Lysistrata Project, “there is no theater of protest here, no theater of war, not even one token production of the firehouse eulogy “The Guys,” which has brought the tragedy home to cities outside New York in a way no other medium can. Denver is simply not a reactive theater community, which means it is failing in a fundamental and historic civic responsibility: to bring comfort, perspective and understanding not only about our past but also the world we walk out into once a play ends.”
