Coal Creek Community Theater presents
The 6th Annual Front Range Playwrights Showcase
Original Works by John C. Wolter, Don Fried & Melissa Leach
Directed by Kyle Laboria, Dan Schock & Nita Froelich
This is where new Colorado theater begins—raw, unfinished, and full of possibility. Local playwrights bring brand-new work to the stage for the first time. Actors and directors workshop the scripts in real time. Audiences witness theater in progress and help shape what comes next. Stories being born, right here in front of you.
The Front Range Playwrights Showcase
Since 2007, Coal Creek Theater has supported Colorado playwrights through the Front Range Playwrights Showcase. Here, we provide opportunities to workshop, develop, and stage new work.
