  THE DENVER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS:

                        DENVER CENTER THEATRE COMPANY

       Take a trip around the world with The Denver Center Theatre Company
         DCTC explores world cultures with the world premiere of Fables


DENVER - The "visual language" of their productions transcends the
spoken word; their work has been compared to everything from a one-ring
circus to performance art.
     Now the team that brought Denver world premieres such as Stories and
Beethoven ‘N’ Pierrot creates a spectacular new production for family
audiences.  Fables has its world premiere in The Stage Theatre May 15
through June 15, 1997.
     For Fables, Pavel Dobrusky and Per-Olav Sørensen will gather actors
representing cultures from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South
America to tell the folk legends and fables of their respective
countries. The team will search to discover how culturally specific
fables that appear to be widely different actually spring from the same
underlying myth.  Rich and multi-lingual folk tales will be combined
with exotic sets and costumes in an attempt to bridge the gap that
separates world cultures.
     This dazzling new work will intrigue and inspire audiences from all
generations.
A U S WEST WORLD PREMIERE/Commissioned by the Denver Center Theatre
Company.  Funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the
Harold & Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.
