Now Celebrating Our 20th Season!
Creating new theatre for the Pikes Peak region

Oct 20 ~ 30
VOTE! Short Works Festival

 

Millibo takes a fresh (and mischievous) look at that time honored right of every American citizen to cast that one and ever-so-precious VOTE. Join us for an evening of short plays, monologues, songs, dance, comedy sketches, and yes, even a shadow puppet vignette, as we dig deep into what it means to VOTE yesterday, today, and not at all.  You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you’ll clench your fists, you’ll giggle, you’ll ponder, you’ll wonder, you’ll shake your head, and if we’ve done our job as theatre makers, you’ll head home after the show with oh-so-much to talk about.  Don’t miss it!
