This bold,site-specific work will provide interesting challenges for the artists, and an exciting and immersiveexperience for the audience.WHO’S TEACHING?Buntport Theater Company, celebrating its 15th season in Denver, is a vibrant ensemble of five full-time collaborators who write, produce, perform, and give technical support to all of their own work.Buntport Theater Company will be sharing in the teaching and learning of this summer production.Members include Brian Colonna ’00, Hannah Duggan ’98, Erik Edborg ’97, Erin Rollman ’98, andSamantha Schmitz ’00.
