Presented by Balanced Rook Chess Club ♖ at Wackadoo Brewing Colorado Springs, CO
We are a social chess club with players of all skill levels, from beginners just learning chess to highly rated tournament players that are happy to give pointers to those who are less experienced (strategy / tactics / openings / endgames / books to study / etc). All ages are welcome as Wackadoo is a family friendly establishment and serves more than just beer. We ask that parents stay with your children, and you can buy a soda/beer and/or a burger while they play. Never been to a chess club and not sure what to expect? It’s free, come down between 6-9pm, say hello to me (Lloyd) and I’ll get you started. You can watch a game in progress (no kibitzing), or sit down at one of the club provided tournament grade chess sets and invite anyone who is free to play. After your game you can rematch, invite someone else to play, or take a break and buy a beer to watch others play, talk chess, or help analyze a finished game.

'Where We Stand'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Written by Donnetta Lavinia Grays and Directed by Marisa Hébert. A stranger stands before us with a story—and a deal. In Where We Stand, a poetic and electrifying one-person play, a lonely soul makes a choice that could change everything. Part fable, part confession, and part communal reckoning, this contemporary tale invites the audience to step into the storyteller’s shoes and cast a vote of their own. Directed by Marisa Hébert (Flyin’ West, Every Brilliant Thing), this spellbinding modern parable explores the consequences of mercy, the cost of belonging, and the ties that bind us together. Making its Colorado debut, Where We Stand is a haunting journey into the heart of human connection. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains themes of isolation, metaphysical bargaining, and moral ambiguity. If you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email [email protected].
