Mark Hanson: Taryall Gold Rush
Presented by Western Museum of Mining and Industry at Western Museum of Mining and Industry Colorado Springs, CO
In the shadow of the Continental Divide and hidden from the public eye for decades, Tarryall Valley showcases Colorado’s first stampede from her front range during the gold rush of 1859. Exhibiting a lush time capsule of that lucrative gold strike, the valley has over the past ten years been the focus of Mark Hanson’s camera and historical research. His field exploration covers a tight peak-to-valley grid, encompassing the mining district’s 18 square miles from Como, Colorado to the Continental Divide and Boreas Pass. Mark documents a century-long quest for Tarryall’s elusive mother lode and the rich golden bounty found amongst her glacially-bulldozed placers. Here are sheltered more than 150 teetering cabins, over 850 prospect pits and mines, 20 miles of flumes and ditches, five remaining mill sites, bygone blacksmith shops, and the hopes and dreams of thousands of prospectors. Tarryall held the finest gold in the state, and in today’s dollars, well over $300,000,000 was doggedly harvested across a span of 120 years. Through the eyes of a present-day resident and claim-holding geologist, peer into the pans of early prospectors and open anxious telegrams from international financiers. Meet five miners whose detailed biographies illustrate a diverse parade of explorers from gold farmers to silver magnates. From German immigrants, to Civil War veterans, to the money launderers of Tammany Hall, these characters typify many of the nation’s 19th century gold rushes. Published early in 2025, “Tarryall Gold” represents a microcosm of hundreds of valleys across the west. Exhibiting over 220…

'The Garbologists'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Written by Lindsay Joelle and Directed by GerRee Hinshaw. Danny is a white, blue-collar, born-and-bred New Yorker. Marlowe is Black, Ivy-League-educated, and just joined the sanitation department. They’ve got one thing in common: the route. Over the course of countless trash pickups, this odd couple bickers, bonds, and uncovers unexpected truths about themselves—and the city they serve. Directed by GerRee Hinshaw (Dream Hou$e), The Garbologists is a sharp and heartfelt comedy about finding connection in the mess of everyday life. It closes our 50th season with grit, laughter, and plenty of trash talk. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains strong language and adult themes. As each audience member is different, we don't make age recommendations, but if you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email [email protected].

Junktique Off-Main
Presented by The Industrial at Junktique Off-Main Florence, CO
Junktique Off-Main A bigger vision. A new monthly experience. Junktique Off-Main — a new monthly event located on private property just off downtown Florence. Designed to give both shoppers and vendors more room, more convenience, and more opportunity, Off-Main expands the Junktique experience beyond Main Street while keeping the same spirit of discovery that people love. This new location creates space for growth and flexibility, with room for vendors who want to participate monthly and room for customers to enjoy an easy, comfortable shopping experience. Visitors can expect: A monthly market experience. Easy access just off downtown Florence. Free parking (off street, in the front of the property.) $2 parking (off-street, next to the event gate). VIP ($5) (on concrete, inside the event gates.) Free handicapped parking (must have license plate or hanging tag, on concrete, inside the event gates.) For vendors, Junktique Off-Main offers flexible ways to be part of the event, including full-time vendor spaces and per-event rentals. Full-time vendor spaces are an especially attractive option for sellers who want to simplify setup and reduce the constant work of moving inventory. Instead of hauling merchandise back and forth for each event, vendors can store their inventory on site and simply open their doors each month. Less hauling. Less hassle. More selling. Junktique Off-Main is built for growth, convenience, and a new kind of market experience in Florence — one that gives vendors more flexibility and gives shoppers more reasons to come back again and again.
