Plays With Fire 2026

Denver
Saturday, May 16, 7:00 pm

A pair of comedies to put some spring in your springtime —

Plus Mark Ragan and Jessica Robblee spill the beans about BETC’s upcoming season of spectacular shows, and then —

• Bonnet by Oscar, Tony, and Pulitzer winner John Patrick Shanley — a staged reading directed by Josh Hartwell
  • A clever 10-minute comedy of manners in which Ava appears at the breakfast table with a meaningful new accessory, and her husband Dan has a few questions.
• The Wheelchair on My Face (New York Times Critic’s Pick) by Sonya Kelly — a staged reading directed by Adrian Egolf, featuring Kate Gleason
  • A memoir-meets-theatre-meets-standup-comedy piece about growing up with poor vision that went undiagnosed until Kelly was seven years old.

Run Time
Plays With Fire is expected to run approximately 80 minutes, with a 15 minute intermission.
