Bronx-based playwrights Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz have worked with Denver’s homeless, social agency workers and city officials to create this rich portrait of those living on the city’s margins. THE DENVER PROJECT breaks the bounds of traditional theatre, fusing poetry and theatre, politics and choreography, and the passionate tales of our city’s shadowed community.

Curious Theatre Company first commissioned Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz to contribute a short play to THE WAR ANTHOLOGY in Season 8. Curious New Voices, Curious’ young playwriting program, has repeatedly hosted Steven as a summer intensive guest playwright since 2005. THE DENVER PROJECT, our second world premiere commission with these esteemed artists, has been in development through community dialogue and artistic workshops since July of 2007.
