'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].

Electric Safari

Presented by Cheyenne Mountain Zoo at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Colorado Springs, CO

Electric Safari at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the only place in Colorado where you can enjoy a holiday-safari themed drone show, and explore 50 acres of one-of-a-kind light sculptures, twinkling light displays, and larger-than-life illuminated inflatable animals while hand-feeding a giraffe herd on the side of a mountain! (Drone show and inflatables are weather dependent). For five consecutive years, Electric Safari was ranked the 3rd Best Zoo Lights in the U.S. by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers' Choice Awards—until last year, when it climbed to 2nd place.
