October is Arts Month in the Pikes Peak region, and UCCS Presents will showcase 15 professional and student productions at the Ent Center for the Arts and the GOCA Downtown gallery. A free celebration of the month’s activities will take place 5-7 p.m. Oct. 5, before the performances of Theatreworks’ “A Raisin in the Sun” and the UCCS Theatre Company’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Registration is required for the celebration event.
Arts Month is coordinated by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region and coincides with National Arts & Humanities Month. The local Arts Month celebration is in its fifth year and encourages people to enjoy at least one new cultural experience with families and friends. A complete list of UCCS events is below, with the complete regional list available at PeakRadar.
