COME TO THE EVENTS THAT SUPPORT US:

THURSDAY, MAY 2: is Industry Night for Control Group Productions’ “Cheyanne,” a new play by Denver’s Cipriano Ortega at the People’s Building in Aurora. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Denver Actors Fund. Tickets for this special performance are $18 at https://controlgroup.wellattended.com/events/cheyanne. “Cheyanne” showcases how artists of color navigate America’s complex and nuanced art world. Ortega, an artist who regularly combines music, theater, and visual art, “probes the mind and questions what is perceived as the normative” in their debut play, wich has been in development since 2014. Set in the confines of a cramped apartment, Cheyanne, an aspiring artist, and her partner, Rodrigo, navigate the challenges of caring for Cheyanne’s aging father while attempting to balance their individual artistic ambitions. “Cheyanne” is directed by Phil Luna and features Iliana Lucero Barron, Angelo Mendez, Magally Luna and Cipriano Ortega, with projections by local duo Deep Space Drive In. The People’s Building is located at 9995 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora.
