According to Variety, the Denver Center Theater Company's 2010-2011 season will include two world premieres written by Ken Weitzman and Michele Lowe: The Catch and Map of Heaven. Both plays had readings in February as a part of DCTC's Colorado New Play Summit.

In announcing the Denver Center Theatre Company's 2010/11 Season, Artistic Director Kent Thompson expands the company's reputation with American playwrights and theatre professionals as a center for new work by selecting three new plays read at the 2010 Colorado New Play Summit for full production - two of them Denver Center world premieres. In addition he has selected a remarkably current list of critically-acclaimed works, including the 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner, to complement a horror classic, an exciting French Canadian import and a favorite Shakespeare comedy.

Preparations are being finalized and excitement is building as the Denver Center Theatre Company prepares to welcome nearly 300 theatre professionals and press representatives from across the nation to Denver and the 2010 Colorado New Play Summit this weekend.

The final performance in the 2010 Festival of New American Plays will be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Firehouse Theatre, 1609 W. Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia.

When he inaugurated The Denver Center Theatre Company's Colorado New Play Summit in 2006, Artistic Director Kent Thompson called the event a 'summit' because of the glorious Rocky Mountains and his goal to build the event into a peak experience... 'a new play festival that is a must-see event for theatre professionals from across the United States.'
