The theatrical memoir, written by the creator of OxiClean, Max Appel, and Su Teatro’s Executive Artistic Director, Anthony J. Garcia, invites the audience to take a step back in time and experience the Jewish community that once populated Denver’s West Colfax neighborhood from 1930 through the 70s.
The compelling ambitious new play recounts the experiences of a generation whose parents had immigrated from Eastern Europe to escape the horror of the pogroms. A community bound together by cultural and spiritual tradition transformed the city of Denver as the “Westside” which produced a significant number of successful educators, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, civic leaders, and philanthropists.
The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. — phone 303-296-0219.
Tickets are $17 for students & seniors (65+) and $20 for adults — also available online.
