Description
The Studio Loft at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House
Opera Colorado Artists in Residence
Cherity Koepke, Director
Step into the golden age of comedy as Opera Colorado’s Artists in Residence take their final bow in a one-of-a-kind evening that channels the kitschy, chaotic charm of a 1950s vaudeville troupe. This year’s Departure transforms the Studio Loft into a retro comedy club and invites you to explore both the spotlight and the shadows—what the audience sees on stage, and what unfolds behind the scenes.
Act one features American Punchlines by Seymour Barab, a rarely performed gem that strings together vaudevillian jokes in a delightfully absurd one-act opera. In act two, the laughs continue with musical theater selections that capture the backstage life of the performers—comic, touching, and full of character.
Raise a glass before curtain and at intermission and stick around after the show to meet our departing Artists in Residence as they celebrate their final performance of the season.
