Whose Live Anyway? A great question, with a greater answer, is coming to Denver
Improv is hard. Here’s proof… It’s not difficult, however, for pros like the cast of Whose Line is it Anyways. The American troupe has won not just rave reviews, but an Emmy Award nominee when Drew Carey was on the show. By the way, the answer is “your line.”
Door opens at 7 P.M. and show begins at 8 P.M., Dec. 21. Tickets range from $29.50 to $39.50. Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place. Paramountdenver.com. 866-461-6556
Arapahoe Philharmonic brings classical festive music to the holidays
Classical music is like fine wine: it ages brilliantly and no one really knows what it is. Luckily for you, the Arapahoe Philharmonic will give you a lesson on holiday classics by presenting the works of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Ottorino Respighi and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The Arapahoe Philharmonic will be recreating a Russian folk story-turned-opera, an Italian tonal poem, and an English Christmas composition. Three new compositions–written by Jonathan Bingham, Elizabeth Comninellis and Edgar Girtain– will also be played, as well as Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride and other holiday favorites.
Saturday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 P.M. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for seniors, and $5 for children and students. South Suburban Christian Church, 7275 S. Broadway. arapahoe-phil.org/events/buy-tickets. 303-781-1892
