Greg Rice - Page 3

Greg Rice Greg was born and raised in Pennsylvania, where he was a student at the Society Hill Playhouse in his senior year, and has been a Denver resident for 17 years. While in Denver he has been active with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts as a volunteer Chair and Co-Chair for the Denver Center Theater Company's African American Task Force. This organization was formed to introduce more African Americans to the theater. The organization also created the Take-A-Kid -Out program bringing more African-American students, who may not normally get to the theater, into the theater. While at the DCPA, he was also a tour docent and sat on the Chairman's Board. Keeping so busy in Denver, he finally started taking trips back to New York City to take in as much theater as possible! These trips usually last about 10 days and include 8 shows, The Tony Awards (once so far!), at least 4 slices of Ray's Pizza (The real Ray's!), at least 3 cheese steaks and a very good time in one of his favorite cities!

Greg is very happy to be reporting from Denver on Broadway World!

Review: 'When Tang Met Laika'

When Tang Met Laika had it's world premiere at the Denver Center on January 28th. Regelio Martinez's play is about an astronaut who falls in love with a female cosmonaut around the time of the Columbia Shuttle disaster. But that is only part of the play. Intertwined is the relationship between the United States and Russia, a marriage that is, or has been, going bad and ghosts from the past.

REVIEW: Little House on the Prairie settles into Denver
REVIEW: Little House on the Prairie settles into Denver
December 17, 2009

'Little House on the Prairie - The Musical', based on the 'Little House' books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and starring Melissa Gilbert as 'Ma', opened quietly at the Buell Theater on Tuesday night. Oh yes, there were commercials and talk of the show. But the show itself is a very low key affair. And that's not a bad thing. There are no chandeliers, bubbles or 'flying green witches' and that is what may upset some theatergoers. What theatergoers will like is that Melissa Gilbert, the original Laura Ingalls from the 70's TV series, plays 'Ma' in this musical production.

December 1, 2009

On Wednesday June 26th, 2006, my best friend and I walked into the Atlantic Theatre Company to see the, then, Off-Broadway show 'Spring Awakening'. The theater was small and there was an electric feeling in the air. We were familiar with the show's composer Duncan Shiek's music so we got the last 2 tickets available. What exploded from the stage that evening left us breathless. We chatted with Steven Sater during intermission and he said that they had just found out that the show was moving but they didn't know where. Well, where was to Broadway! And after a successful run and 8 Tony Awards (Including Best Musical), Spring Awakening hits Denver on December 1st.
