We are overjoyed to announce that MACC’s Executive Artistic Director, Steve Wilson, has once again been awarded the Henry Award (Colorado’s Tony Award) for best director! This marks Mr. Wilson’s second straight year as best director for a musical, Beauty and the Beast performed by the all-handicapped company PHAMALy.

An inspirational leader, influential business man and ever-creative director, Mr. Wilson is greatly respected by anyone who has the pleasure of working with him. Having worked at MACC for over 15 years, Mr. Wilson is especially adored by the students of the Wolf Theatre Academy who constantly credit him for their lofty theatrical aspirations and ability to entertain their dreams of becoming actors.

MACC and the JCC would like to extend huge congratulations to Steve Wilson for once again being honored with the Henry Award for best director! For more on Mr. Wilson’s award and the Henry Awards click here.

The fall art season is just getting under way, with several major shows open or about to open, including a few blockbusters. So this will be my last chance for a while to highlight interesting solos that fall short of that designation. Right now there are three worthwhile ones, all of which are made up of either photos or photo-based pieces.

Singer Gallery Garners Best of Westword Award Again

Paul Gillis is an artist’s artist who toils away in his studio, creating quirky, cartoonish paintings and watercolors — but rarely exhibits them. Realizing that, Simon Zalkind, one of Denver’s most gifted curators, mounted a show devoted to pieces that Gillis had done over the last dozen years, almost none of which had been displayed before. Although the works are nominally narrative, it’s hard to say just what story Gillis is telling: His pictures include robots, animals and vessels of various types, as well as writings in imaginary languages, all of it set in weird, surrealistic settings that look simultaneously ancient and futuristic. His cryptic work was a fitting choice for the Singer, long a force in the Denver art world, but now facing an uncertain future at the Jewish Community Center.
