“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Your Colorado Theatre Guild looks forward to supporting our members and giving our venues a platform to share their vision going forward, in addition to opening a space for more member interaction. We seek to build a coalition of diverse artists and specialists in their field; who can add to our engaging workshops and other offerings our committees have in store for you.

Focus on Board Member Lia Kozatch |
A dynamic activist and arts advocate, Colorado
Theatre Guild board member Lia Kozatch (Lia, they, she) has had a busy and challenging year. Like many in the arts, the pandemic had a tremendous impact on their life. Early word from friends living in China experiencing the first wave of closures, cancelations, and lockdowns provided Lia with some foreshadowing of what was to come, but nothing could prepare for the global impact felt by all. Lia and her family were in high-risk categories, so they all had to take extreme precautions to ensure health and safety by staying away from most public spaces until they were fully vaccinated.

Lighthouse: Promoting Deeper Understanding of Ourselves and Others |
Art connects community. Story brings us together. Arts organizations like the Denver Art Museum, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Museum for Contemporary Art, and Lighthouse Writers Workshop all bring the power and potential of art into our community in tangibly impactful ways. For Lighthouse, this means using the art of writing to teach, heal, connect, challenge, and inspire.

"I'd like to shout out Nathan Halvorson at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College! What can't Nathan do?! Build programs, teach, direct-- he's an incredible artist and I always feel lucky when I get the chance to work with him."
