Boulder’s Dinner Theatre has been wowing us with live, Broadway-quality performances paired with fine dining since 1977. “It’s a complete evening of entertainment,” explains artistic director Michael J. Duran. “Our audience gets a good meal and fantastic theater, and they get to meet the stars of the show.” These stars shine brightly; members of the company have performed on stages nationwide. Some have been with Boulder’s Dinner Theatre for 20 years, and some are new to the group. Some have Academy Award nominations and some are just getting their feet wet in the industry. But veterans and fresh talent alike pour their hearts into every performance. Come see for yourself; the theater is putting on a regional premier of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” – a hilarious musical comedy with audience participation – now through November 7.
