Bare is the dramatic and poignant story of teenagers struggling with their identities at a co-ed Catholic boarding school. As senior year comes to an end, Peter, Jason, Matt, Ivy, and Nadia must navigate the challenges of love, sexuality, and religion as they rehearse a school production of Romeo and Juliet. The consequences of their choices will be their cross to bear for the rest of their lives.

Bare will be co-hosted by a local organization dedicated to the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth. Audience members will have the opportunity to join these groups for events surrounding each show, and to learn about their advocacy work. The Arts HUB is a proud “safe space” for the LGBTQ+ community, and as such we are proud to collaborate with these local organizations to advance their mission to support and protect local LGBTQ+ youth.

The Arts HUB Emerging Artists is an incubator program designed to foster new theatrical talent in the Front Range.

Celebrating the child’s point of view, The Front Range Kids Film Festival will present short works by both child and adult filmmakers who share in this spirit of innocent creativity. Kids will have the opportunity to show their work to their friends and family, as well as members of their community. Adult filmmakers will be able to reach kids in their community, experience their reactions, and answer their questions.

On the evening of the festival, there will be fun activities, photographs, food vendors, and films will be shown on the big screen in the theater. Filmmakers will introduce their works to the audience, who will vote for their favorite entries. And, of course, there will be prizes for winning filmmakers!

There are three age groups for submission, based on the age of the director:
Ages 6-9
Ages 10-15
Teen/Adult

Within each age group, 6 films will be selected for the festival and reviewed by a seven member panel. Selected films will be shown in the festival, but all submitted films will be available to view on The Arts Hub website.

Filmmakers of all ages in the Front Range are encouraged to submit their films! Go to artshub.org/film for more information and to submit your film today!

Fee:$15 to submit a film, ticketing info TBD

Join us for an evening of music and dance from the Asian South Pacific! Featuring the hula dancing of Keaka O’Kalani and the shimmering sound of the Balinese gamelan, this evening promises to be a delightful cultural immersion!

What is hula dancing? Hula is a mimetic dance form. The dance moves are meant to represent different things, people, or places. Put together, the dance moves create a story told through dance. Originally a religious dance performed on the islands of Hawai’i, hula has spread across the world.

What is a gamelan? A gamelan is the traditional orchestra ensemble of the islands of Bali and Java, in Indonesia. It consists of various gongs, drums, and tuned metal percussive instruments, and, depending on the size of the gamelan, can be played by one or multiple players. The gamelan is used in religious ceremonies, to accompany theatrical performances, and is played on its own for entertainment.

The Arts HUB Music Series delights and inspires audiences with performances of classic and traditional music from around the world.

Tickets are $25, available at www.artshub.org/events.
