Best Eclectic Theater Season

Where but at Germinal Stage Denver could you suffer through Edward Albee’s truth-saturated Three Tall Women, giggle at the light comedy of Relatively Speaking, puzzle through one of Harold Pinter’s most mysterious offerings, No Man’s Land, and be reintroduced to Arthur Kopit, whose Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad was a 1960s sensation that is still savagely contemporary? Ed Baierlein has been expressing his own artistic vision at Germinal for thirty years, making no concessions to marketing, fashion or focus groups. The result — whether you’re watching Tennessee Williams or an obscure European playwright — is independent, uncompromisingly intelligent theater.
