'Faces in the Crowd' Premieres at the Avenue Theatre

Denver, CO) - "Faces in the Crowd", created by Peter Gwinn, Emmy award winning writer for The Colbert Report, is premiering in Denver at The Avenue Theater for one weekend only.

"Faces in the Crowd" is a one-act journey that explores the complexities inherent in each of us. What you think you see isn't always what you get. What lies beneath the surface appearance of an individual? How do our everyday judgments block us from the truth of a person's character? How does one hide their emotional injuries from the past using behaviors as their protection shield? This true ensemble piece develops characters whose lives are always attached, unmistakably and often quite touchingly, through their shared humanity.

Originating in Chicago, "Faces in the Crowd", was created by Peter Gwinn and has been remounted here in Denver by Chicago cast member Kerstin Caldwell. Knowing that this piece was too good to be left on a shelf, with Gwinn's permission, Kerstin has brought it to Denver for one weekend to pay tribute, not only to the piece itself, but to the human nature we all play out on a daily basis. If we truly look at the behaviors we choose to reside in, we may notice how many things we are blocking from our own lives. Isn't it time to choose to say, "YES!" and allow vs. denying what beauty or joy that may reside on the other side of what we judge?
