Firehouse Theater Company
Next up is RIPCORD by David Lindsay-Abaire and directed by Abby Apple Boes. May 31 – June 29. Get tickets here.
Description: A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.
—Dramatist Play Service

Located in: John Hand Theater

Address: 7653 E 1st Pl, Denver, CO 80230
The John Hand Theater is located inside the historic Lowry Air Force Base Fire Station. The main stage and backstage areas reside where fire trucks once stood at the ready.
