‘Echoes of Curtis Park’ brings Five Points history to the stage — via a cosmic radio DJ

Theater Artibus presents 'Echoes of Curtis Park,' a production that celebrates the rich history of Denver's Curtis Park community through local stories and music. Co-artistic director Meghan Frank highlights the theater's commitment to telling local narratives, which stem from community listening sessions with longtime residents. The show features a cosmic radio DJ who transports a fictional character through time, weaving together real interviews and songs shared by local residents. This approach not only honors the neighborhood's African American and Chicano heritage but also engages the audience with authentic voices from the past. The production includes a variety of stories, including those from local musicians who contributed to the area's musical landscape in the mid-20th century.

'Echoes of Curtis Park' is nearing the end of its run at The Savoy performance space, making it a timely reflection of the community's cultural legacy.
