Telluride’s SquidShow Theatre: Straight to heart of the matter
When the going gets tough, the tough don diapers and wings and arm themselves with bows and arrows.
In 2009, Telluride's SquidShow Theatre Company produced no fewer than one full-length contemporary play, four full-length original plays, six professional play readings, and two historical adaptations from non-fiction work, a whopping 22 performances, reaching over 1,600 locals and tourists. SquidShow Theatre hit the ground running in 2010, packing the Sheridan Opera House with an unprecedented encore performance of “Inaccurate Reenactments,” its Telluride Historical Museum-sponsored hit.
And yet the Squids lost their funding from regional grants.
