News: The disability-affirmative Phamaly Theatre Company announced its 2023 season tonight, and it will mark its return to the Denver Performing Arts Complex next summer with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in what is now called the Kilstrom Theatre. (the former Space Theatre, Aug. 17 through Sept. 2). I can't recall when or if Phamaly has produced something other than a musical as its big summer offering, but it will more than make up for that by staging "Spring Awakening" in, yes, the spring, at the Parsons Theatre in Northglenn (March 23 through April 8). Phamaly will collaborate with The Silhouettes on its first-ever dance production, "Indescribable" (Nov. 3-5 at the Aurora Fox. Northglenn Arts

• 🇷🇴🇺🇸 A special vinyl marking the 25th year since the launching of the Strategic Partnership between Romania and the United States launches this December!
📀 "The Free Zone" / "Zona liberă" is an album conceived by visual artist, curator, cultural promoter, and educator Mihai Zgondoiu (Zgondy) together with DJ Vasile, composer, performer, and radio host, one of the most important innovators in contemporary Romanian music. The title refers both to a consequential civic movement for democratization in Romania of the early 1990s (”The Free Zone of Neocommunism”) and to a popular radio show, created by DJ Vasile together with DJ Matze, another influential musician.
At the same time, "The Free Zone" breathes new life into an important, yet partially forgotten, part of Romanian cultural memory. The original songs on which these renditions are based belong to the massive musical output of Electrecord, Romania’s only producing company during communist dictatorship, which managed to become, for many composers and singers over several decades, a space of relative free artistic expression in which American influences and ideas were ever present beyond censorship. As such, Free Zone alludes to a space of freedom and cultural exchange, which are core values of the Romanian-American transatlantic relations.
🎉 This record is produced by the Ambasada României în Statele Unite ale Americii / Romanian Embassy to US and the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, as part of the program celebrating the 25th anniversary since the launch of the Strategic Partnership for the 21st Century between Romania and the United States of America, with the support of Banca Transilvania / Transylvania Bank from Romania.

When studying at the University of Bucharest on a Fulbright, Cristina Bejan met Rucsandra Pop, who was organizing a literary festival in a hip new cafe in Bucharest's historic Geology Museum. Pop invited Bejan to contribute a live-reading of her play "Colombo Calling - a play from Sri Lanka" which featured actors from across Bucharest's eclectic and diverse theatre world, including the world famous Maia Morgenstern. Then Pop won a Fulbright to study at the University of Indiana. These two playwrights and poets have been scheming about just such an international and local culture and arts collective since their initial collaboration in 2008. Think the Fulbright Association meets the pre-2012 incarnation of the Romanian Cultural Institute and you have Bucharest Inside the Beltway. Long live Denver, draga ....
