The Bard and his bros are coming to South Broadway on October 21st in Spark Theater’s Two Gentlemen of Verona. Director Michael Emmitt has put on modern day Colorado twist on this comic tale of love, friendship and beer. Emmitt says updating the story to current day Colorado was a no-brainer because “ The two main characters, Valentine and Proteus, reminded me of frat boys. There’s just something about the way they talk and live their lives that feels like local college dudes you see at DU or in Boulder. Plus the update seemed like an interesting way to poke fun at that culture while making Shakespeare more lively.” Two Gentlemen of Verona is believed to be written in 1591 and is one of Shakespeare’s earliest works but Emmitt says the story is “accessible and relatable” for modern audiences. “The language in Two Gents is lighter and more comedic than in his later work. First timers to Shakespeare will be able to follow the story while fans will get to see this rarely staged classic in a whole new light.”

Two Gentlemen of Verona opens on October 21st and runs through November 19th at Spark Theater. Tickets for Thursday performances are just $10 while Friday and Saturday shows are $20. For more information, visit sparktheater.org or call (720)346-7396
