The Playground Ensemble’s annual Pride show returns to close out the season in celebration of our artists and our community. Featured in this year’s program are Playground composers Silen Wellington and Nathan Hall, along with other Colorado composers and beloved Playground collaborators.

In a political climate where our mere existence is at stake, we offer up new, visibly queer music, texts, and movement works, supporting voices of all ages from our Rocky Mountain Region. We reaffirm our deep passion for and commitment to those around us, making sure we keep close our families, friends, lovers, youth, and elders. These pieces for Pride 2025 ask us to love harder.

Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 7:30 PM.
