Now Celebrating Our 23rd Season!
Creating new theatre for the Pikes Peak region

June 20 – 22
THE ARTS UPRISE FESTIVAL

Community Partnership

Three Nights only! June 20 – 22, 2025

The tide has retreated. Something is about to rush into our village like a tsunami.

It’s The Arts Uprise Festival, a creative flood of original plays, music, art, and spoken word that take on climate change, hilarious religious hypocrisy, the future of history and much more.

Out of more than 30 original script submissions, judges selected five that capture the angst and insights of this twisted Twilight Zone moment in America. Some of the finest actors and directors in the region will bring these stories to life, and their work will be accompanied by original poetry by Springs Poet Laureate Ashley Cornelius, original music by singer-songwriter John Spengler and visual art curated by the Auric Gallery.
