COME TO THE EVENTS THAT SUPPORT US:
MONDAY, JUNE 16: Please join us for Miners Alley Playhouse’s Industry Night performance of “Ring of Fire,” a world premiere. On this night only, $47 tickets can be yours for only $28, with all proceeds going to The Denver Actors Fund! “Ring of Fire” is a high-energy jukebox musical that brings the legendary songs of Johnny Cash on stage, weaving his iconic hits into a story of love, resilience, and the American spirit. This journey of a man in search of his own soul is an almost mythic American tale, as Cash grows up in the heartland, then leaves to find misadventure, success, faith, redemption and the love of a good woman, before at long last returning home. A must-see for fans of timeless country music and the Man in Black’s enduring legacy. If you plan to see “Ring of Fire,” please consider joining us at 7:30 p.m. on MONDAY, JUNE 16. Booking for this special performance opens on June 2. Call 303-935-3044 or choose your own seats at minersalley.com. Miners Alley Playhouse is located at 1100 Miners Alley in Golden.

FRIDAY, JULY 11: Our friends at Openstage Theatre & Company in Fort Collins have a unique, signature program to support The Denver Actors Fund called “Final Fridays.” On the, yes, final Friday of every mainstage production run, cast members gather in the lobby after the show to greet departing audience members and collect bucket donations for the DAF. Next up: OpenStage will be collecting after the Friday, July 11, outdoor performance of “Pride & Prejudice.” In this fast-paced Kate Hamill adaptation of the Jane Austen classic, the outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, but can she resist her enterprising mother, and society itself? This performance will take place in a park and under the stars, so you can walk in, bike in or drive in. With food trucks! Directed by Heather Ostberg Johnson. Tickets regularly up to $39 but are just $25 for industry, with a limited number of $15 tickets while they last for those using the code 15FOR15. Please see this show anytime before July 12, but if you want to support the DAF as well, why not join us on July 11 at The Park at Columbine Health Systems? Note the 7 p.m. start time.
