Powder Haze Hitting Boulder, Fringe Festival Hopes It Clears Up Soon

Written by Pearl Street Monday, 13 August 2012

Steamboat Springs' critically acclaimed Pirate Theatre is taking its band of merciless satire-makers down the mountains and into Boulder, Colo., for a string of shows in the annual Boulder International Fringe Festival.If you're the type of person confident enough to laugh at yourself, yet not above laughing at others, Pirate Theatre's new multimedia musical comedy, "Powder Haze," will be the funniest damn thing you've seen in a long time.

"Powder Haze: A Day in the Life at a Ski Town" is a multimedia musical comedy featuring a cast of ski bums, including Snowman, Rocky, Dude and Hardcore, as they work through the daily struggles of ski mountain life. From living by powder reports to the constant battle against tourists, those who have "real jobs," and redneck law enforcement, nothing is off limits. And thanks to new medicinal laws, the lifestyle really is a Powder Haze.

Of course, the crew is shocked and, frankly, scared to death, when events force them to move to ... Boulder? Can they adapt? Will they survive? Will they be forced to slackline? And will their medical cards be transferrable?

This must-see show will be playing at the Dairy Performance Space at 2590 Walnut St. Show times are Thursday, August 23, at 5:00 p.m. (a 2-for-1 performance); Friday, August 24, at 9:30 p.m.; and Saturday, August 25, at 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tickets are only $10 ($8 for students and seniors)!
