This blog post is written by Julie Tomlinson-Kapala (JTK*), one of our talented marketing gurus. She handles everything for the VPAC and is looking forward to the Winter season!
1. Brandi Carlile – Wed. Dec. 7 at 7pm
She’s on her first ever solo acoustic tour and selling out venues across the country. I’ve never seen her perform live, but this woman is on fire right now, I can’t wait to hear her on stage in Beaver Creek.
2. Pilobolus – Thurs. Jan. 19 at 7:30pm
Tickets are going fast for this one! I saw Pilobolus perform on “America’s Best Talent” in August and I was in awe as I watched the dancers move their bodies from one intricate and shadow-like pose to the next.
3. Diavolo Dance Theatre – Tues. Feb. 7 at 7:30pm
Their name was formed from two words, the Greek “dia” meaning from point to point and the Latin “volo” which means I fly. This is the perfect definition for this dance troupe that combines acrobatics and gymnastics, with large-scale sets and props.
4. Henson Alternative “Stuffed & Unstrung” – Wed. Feb. 15 at 7:30pm
Brian Henson’s (son of the late Jim Henson) improv showwith 6 comedians and 80 puppets and plenty of opportunities for audience input.This show is 100% uncensored, not your ordinary puppet show, so leave the kids at home.
5. Rock of Ages– Wed. Feb. 29 at 7:30pm
As a child of the ‘80s I grew up listening to all of the songs in this musical.
From Journey to White Snake to Night Ranger, all of the hairband greats are covered in this rock ‘n’ roll tale of a “small town girl livin’ in a lonely world…”
*JTK is not a professional theatre critic, but is a fan of the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek. Her only claim to fame (on stage) is playing Louisa von Trapp in the musical “The Sound of Music” in 10th grade.
