Did you know that the 100thy Anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb is coming up? We did! And we're excited to present Tut Uncommon: A Play Festival Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Discovery of King Tut’s Tomb.
We’ve commissioned seven playwrights to each create a short play loosely inspired by this historic event. We are weaving the scripts together into a dynamic night of theater filled with mummies, ancient curses, lost loves, and PBS pledge drives gone awry.
WHERE:
Mary Miller Theater, 300 East Simpson Street, Lafayette, CO 80026.
WHEN:
November 4 th – 19 th (Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM; Sunday matinees at 2 PM).
