Roamin' the Range March 2017

Roamin’ the Range, March 2017

Bas Bleu Theatre presents the world premiere of Blue Kitchen, written and directed by Eric Prince, April 1-30. Created for a remarkable woman and inspired by Fort Collins’ Wendy Ishii, an extraordinary artist and Bas Bleu founder, the play transports theatre-goers to that all too familiar place, the routine of everyday life. Set in the drizzling rain of Ireland, it is an intriguing look at a woman trudging through mundane tasks while trying to reconcile her past, dealing with never-ending thoughts, repressed emotions, manic actions. In her dreary kitchen, she chops and chops and chops for guests who may never show up. Be sure to stay for the second act and join Bleu Craich, a pub experience including music, poetry and festivities. BB’s production of That Championship Season plays through March 5. Tickets and information at basbleu.org or 970-498-8949.

College Avenue, Fort Collins. Landscapes of the American West rendered in breakfast cereal, cold cuts, French fries and other processed foods. Through March 25 in the North Gallery, see Michele Wysocki’s exhibit exploring what it’s like to be a twin, from physical appearance, to genetics and psychological, spiritual and philosophical things that may separate them. She says, “Seeing double immediately produces a lot of questions,” and her work seeks to explore them.
