As the curtains draw to a close on the 2023-2024 Fall/Winter Season at Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, theater enthusiasts and those seeking an introspective experience, are urged to seize the opportunity and catch the final performances of “Tiny Beautiful Things.” This heartfelt and resonant production in its closing weekend promises an emotional and unforgettable experience.
Artistic Director Tim Moore reflects on what has been an exceptional season of theatre, stating, “This season has been the strongest and most impactful to date. We’ve explored the depths of human emotion, challenged perspectives, and celebrated the power of storytelling. Each production has garnered unparalleled praise, and we are immensely proud of the artistic journey we’ve embarked upon.”
“Tiny Beautiful Things,” adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos from the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed (portrayed by Karissa Bruin), has been a standout in this stellar season. The play, a collection of Strayed’s advice columns, transcends the traditional boundaries of theatre, offering a poignant exploration of life’s complexities, joys, and sorrows. Its message, delivered with authenticity and compassion, has resonated profoundly with audiences.
As the final performances approach, attendees can expect an emotional rollercoaster that will leave them reflecting on life’s tiny, beautiful moments long after the play’s conclusion.
Mr. Moore extends his gratitude to the community for their unwavering support throughout the season, stating, “Our audience is the heartbeat of this theater, and we are grateful for the shared experiences and connections made through the power of live performance. As we bid farewell to the Fall/Winter Season, we look forward with great excitement to the upcoming Summer Season.”
