‘The Notebook, The Musical,’ Love, Compassion & Alzheimer’s, At The DCPA Thru Dec. 28, LLD Review
Where do we go, when we go? When we disappear? Where do we go? It’s not a question about the afterlife but rather about Alzheimer’s. That profound lyric from the song “Coda” in the play ‘The Notebook’ currently at the DCPA has stuck with me since experiencing the play opening night. What happens to someone when…

At the end of each broadcast of the award winning Latin Sol Party radio show on KUVO 89.3, Denver’s premiere and only jazz radio station, Danny Valenzuela would finish with a tribute to his late wife Mary. “I still love you Mary and I always will” he would say. Then he would play Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. The song is a nostalgic look back at youthful romance, innocent fun, and first experiences with love and sex, set against a backdrop of memory.
But this past Friday night, Danny Valenzuela was not on the air. “KUVO JAZZ is extremely sorry to announce…

‘A Christmas Carol’ More than A Family Affair, Thru Dec. 28, LLD Review
A Christmas Carol has become a must see event for the Holiday season. The costumes are over the top in elegance, lush, vibrant and full of detail. The set design, amazing. The acting by the entire cast is impecable with heartfelt moments and humor scattered about in this tale of greed, selfishness and compassion. The rich versus the poor, the have and have nots and what the true spirit of Christmas is all about.

From Farm To Fable ‘Shucked’ As Corny, Funny & Endearing As It Gets, Thru Oct. 19th, LLD Review
I really wasn’t sure what to expect with a play that made no pretense as to how corny and silly it was. The production uses every pun and innuendo related to corn that you can think of. A-maize-ing, was the one missing from the play but it was the word the audience was speaking out loud and laughing with as they left the theatre.
