Fireflies by Matthew Barber (2 Shows!)

About This Event

Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company presents Fireflies by Matthew Barber, a charming romantic comedy perfect for Valentine’s Day at the Dairy Arts Center on February 14, 2026. This special production tells the story of Eleanor Bannister, a retired school teacher living a quiet, lonely life until smooth-talking handyman Abel Brown arrives in town to fix her roof—and perhaps her heart. As the town begins to gossip, Eleanor must decide if she can trust this charming drifter. With champagne and roses included, this Valentine’s outing combines Matthew Barber’s witty dialogue with themes of love, trust, and taking chances later in life. This heartwarming Boulder theatre production offers both matinee and evening performances, making it the perfect romantic date night or afternoon escape. Note: This special event is not included in BETC’s season subscription.
