The Arvada Center has announced its six-play theatre season, an impressive line-up of plays and musicals that spread across several generations of the human experience.

Following unanimous acclaim from critics and audiences alike, BETC's production of 'Grounded' by George Brant is returning for a limited engagement at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, January 8-18.

Fresh off the holiday hit "The SantaLand Diaries" at Off-Center @ the Jones, a remounting of George Brant's "Grounded" at the Dairy Center, and numerous end-of-year accolades and awards for its 2014 productions, Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC) now stages the work of Guggenheim Fellow and Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Baker.

The accolades speak for themselves. Four stars from the Denver Post: "Laura Norman is reason enough to see BETC's daunting production." Denver Westword: "Brant has written a brilliant script...a work with the power to change the viewer."

If memories of having to read Julius Caesar and The Merchant of Venice back in high school still give you the heebie-jeebies, have no fear: this little symposium will feature entertaining modern tales suggested by the works of Shakespeare plus The Tragedy of Hamlet performed in fifteen minutes!

Don't look back. Three generations of one family move ever westward, restless, seeking. As they migrate from Croatia, through Wyoming, and onward to Japan, the land of opportunity keeps moving, and the past keeps catching up.

Opening night of the ninth season from the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC) is coming a whole month sooner than expected. The company just announced the addition of another regional premiere to its already announced season: "Grounded" by George Brant, running September 11-28.
