Why Denver's "Dangerous" Theatre?

Well, for starters, it is a dangerous proposition to attempt to make a living doing theatre.

Also, the focus of Denver's Dangerous Theatre is to give a stage time to original or new works that might not otherwise be produced in Denver. Trying to get audiences to come see plays they have never heard of before is also a dangerous proposition.

Who is Denver's Dangerous Theatre?

Winnie Wenglewick is the driving force behind the theatre.  She has been involved in theatre in one way or another since 1991. She got her start volunteering at SAK Theatre Comedy Lab in Orlando, Florida. She went on to wear many hats at SAK Theatre. When the owners of SAK, Terry Olson & Andy Anthony, started the Orlando International Fringe Festival she joined that artistic endeavor as well. She worked for the Orlando Fringe for 10 years, primarily managing the cash office and working with artists. It was through Fringe that she fell in love with original, alternative and small, intimate theatre. She opened her first theatre in Orlando in 1998 - Performance Space Orlando (PSO).  PSO was a 970 sq. ft room that allowed local artists a space to produce whatever they wanted.  Winnie ran her hair salon out of the back of the theatre to help financially support the space.

She moved to Denver, CO in June 2001. Her original goal was to produce a Fringe Festival in Denver. A goal she still has. She really started to produce & direct when she moved to Denver. She rented numerous venues for different productions and came to the conclusion she really needed her own space if she was going to build any kind of following. Now she has it.

Winnie is the one who chooses the plays to produce, she then produces and directs them.  On occasion, she performs in them as well.
