When you work on a new play, you’re in on the ground floor. You get to see idea move from first spark, to messy middle, to editing, to full bloom. It’s quite wonderful to be in conversation with a writer, to try and uncover the truth of their vision, and to be their first “audience.”

Tell me about bringing in elements of life in the Middle East to the show?

Lisa Orzolek, our set designer, has been inspired by Egyptian architecture, so you’ll definitely get a wonderful visual sense of the world in the setting. David Molina, our composer, was likewise inspired by contemporary Egyptian composers who are mixing traditional sounds, with much more cutting-edge sounds. The instrumentation is deeply influenced by the play’s geography.

What do you hope audiences who see “Hotter Than Egypt” come away with?

A bit of themselves. A taste of newfound freedom. A sense of life from a different vantage point. Get information and tickets at www.denvercenter.org/ticketsevents/hotter-than-egypt/.

According to provided information, each year RedLine invites a visiting curator to develop an sessment rates will take effect for tax year 2022 payable 2023. The passage of SB22-238 (in 2022) changed the assessment rates for tax years 2023, 2024 and 2025.

As you can see in the chart (attached), property tax rates decrease depending on the property type and fiscal year. Generally speaking, most residential property tax bills will be less in JeffCo (approx. $25-$100 less) when they are mailed in January/2023 by the Treasurer’s Office.

*Please note that some properties may not see a decrease in the property tax bill because of the circumstances of that specific property.

As we stare down the barrel of another Valentine’s Day, it’s difficult to think of a more aptly named tour than JID and Smino’s co-headlining tour, Luv is 4Ever Both artists released albums that ranked amongst the best of 2022, hip-hop or otherwise. JID’s “The Forever Story,” offered listeners something both familiar and challenging, blending rap traditionalism with a modernist’s eye. Smino’s “Luv 4 Rent,” is a genrebender that artfully incorporates elements of R&B and electronic into its sonic landscape. The Luv is 4Ever Tour will be stopping by Denver’s Mission Ballroom , 4242 Wynkoop St., at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10. It’s difficult to imagine a better opportunity to see two of hip-hop’s most exciting voices. Get tickets at www.axs.com.
