Although it takes some time, Theatreworks' funky take on Shakespearean comedy is ultimately hilarious and magical.

Caught somewhere between classical and modern modes, The Liar is a truly entertaining evening.

The Ludlow Massacre isn't discussed much in schools, but this collaboration between Theatreworks and The LIDA Project gives ample reason why it should be.

Theatreworks' current Shakespeare in the Park production exudes warmth, love, and triumph over adversity--both onstage and off.

Cymbeline is well worth a trip-though you'll have to decide for yourself whether that trip is down the tree-lined path at Rock Ledge Ranch, or within a smoke-hazed mind. This play, in the end, is mostly what you make of it.

In his director's notes for The Wild Duck, Murray Ross suggests Henrik Ibsen's play isn't produced often in America because of its bleak cynicism, resolving in a 'stunning black hole' of despair. He's probably right.

The stage may be unconventional-and uncomfortable-but Theatreworks' new interpretation of Everyman is worth the trip.

We all know death can strike any place any time, often coming as a most unwelcome surprise. In the greatest play of the Middle Ages, Death comes to Everyman when he's least expecting it, and tells him to get ready for the trip of his life. 600 years later Death is still coming to every man, and in the THEATREWORKS revival of the play, Everyman will get his bad news on a city bus leaving from downtown Colorado Springs. He won't be travelling alone: 35 audience members will be joining him for the ride of his lifetime. Everyman on a Bus plays Wednesdays through Sundays, February 21-March 17, with two performances each night.
