Free-For-All

Theatre happens anywhere intrepid audiences and actors meet. Creating opportunities for our dynamic and diverse communities of the Pikes Peak region to gather together in joy is at the heart of Theatreworks’ mission and our Free-For-All program. Beginning with Free-For-All: Comedy of Errors in 2019, the Free-For-All program has grown to include a variety of community partner sites and returns in the summer of 2024 with Free-For-All: 2GENTS.

Join this joyful, mobile production at libraries, schools, community centers, parks, and senior centers all throughout the Pikes Peak region. Public performances of Free-For-All are always free to audiences, from the oldest to the youngest, and everyone in between. We'll bring the actors, the costumes, the story, and the Shakespearean hijinks, all we're missing is you!

Check out all of the wonderful venues we brought Free-For-All: Pericles to in Summer 2023 below.

A note on choosing performances: Starred performances are indoors with seating provided, while unstarred shows are set against Colorado's great outdoors, so we ask audiences to bring something to sit on. Please note, the actors in the production all play multiple roles and can rotate through different versions of the show, so if you join us more than once, you might get two entirely different performances!

Interested in joining us as a community partner site? Contact clowans@uccs.edu to schedule performances of Free-For-All: TWO GENTLEMAN OF VERONA in April, May, or June of 2024.

In addition to public sites in Summer 2023, Free-For-All: PERICLES gave closed performances for audiences in District 3 schools, Springs Rescue Mission, and Goodwill, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you're a potential community partner with a specific, closed audience in mind.
