THE DENVER PROJECT continues Curious’ commitment to exploring our own community through the power of theatre: with our entire city engaged in a discussion around “Denver’s Road Home,” the Mayor’s 10-year plan to eradicate homelessness, now is the perfect time for a theatrical exploration as a platform for community dialogue.
