'Romeo & Juliet'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Romeo & Juliet Written by William Shakespeare and Directed by Max Shulman. These violent delights have violent ends. In his first production as Theatreworks’ Artistic Director, Max Shulman (An Iliad, Free-for-All: Pericles, Henry IV & V) returns to the Bard with a bold new vision of Romeo & Juliet. This fresh take on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy marks a full-circle moment—honoring Theatreworks’ very first Shakespeare production in 1976. Passion, violence, and poetry collide in this electric staging, proving that the tale of star-crossed lovers is as urgent, dangerous, and heartbreaking as ever. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains violence, suicide, and themes of intergenerational trauma. As each audience member is different, we don't make age recommendations, but if you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email theatreworks@uccs.edu.

He’s an energetic showman who can rile up a crowd with a blast of electric guitar and a stadium-size singalong. His voice booms with soul, his riffs rock with gusto, and his songwriting teems with truth. That’s why he’s quietly asserted himself as a “country powerhouse,” according to American Songwriter. Throughout high school in Slapout, AL, he transformed into a formidable performer by captivating local crowds with marathon cover gigs. Years later, holding down a job as a firefighter, he wrote and recorded at every chance possible. After introducing himself with “Little Red Wine,” he gained traction with a series of singles and 2021’s What Do They Know EP. Two years later, he served up the Neon Grave EP highlighted by the standout “Try Losing One,” which catapulted to #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown. However, he really leveled up on 2024’s “DEVIL YOU KNOW.” Not only did the latter eclipse 335 MILLION global streams it also earned a GOLD-certification from the RIAA. Billboard hailed its “automatic authenticity,” going on to attest, “The sound is dangerous.” Additionally, he received acclaim from People, Taste of Country, Country Now, and more. He notably lit up venues with everyone from Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, and Dierks Bentley to Brothers Osborne, Warren Zeiders, and Darius Rucker. With nearly 765 MILLION global career streams, countless SOLD-OUT shows in the rearview, and a bright future ahead, he reveals multiple sides…

Presented by Palmer Lake Historical Society at Palmer Lake Town Hall Palmer Lake, CO

Wes has been a collector of old maps since he was a teenager with a special interest in the exploration and settlement of the West and Colorado from the 16th through the 20th centuries. The Palmer Lake Historical Society is an educational 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the Palmer Divide area since 1956. FREE Tri-Lakes Historical Calendars will be available.
