OpenStage Theatre loves a good challenge. And the 2010-2011 Season offers just that. With the Fort Collins Lincoln Center closed for renovations, OpenStage Theatre will be performing in various locations throughout downtown Fort Collins. 'We're mixing it up for the 2010-2011 Season,' says OpenStage Producing Artistic Director Denise Burson Freestone. 'We're going back to OpenStage Theatre's roots in the early 70's when there was no Lincoln Center - or any performance venues outside of the university, for that matter. From the beginning OpenStage Theatre sought to create theatrical magic wherever we could, and this season provides us with a chance to engage our audience in exciting and dynamic places.'
