Never been to The Bug Theatre before? Not only will it be the home for the inaugural Laugh Track Comedy Festival, but it’s also been one of the venues for Festivus Film Festival over the past few years. This theatre has a rich history that you may not know, even if you’ve been there before. Originally built in 1912 as a nickelodeon movie house, the theatre now known as The Bug survived multiple incarnations and more than 25 years of dormancy before being renovated in 1994 when the Bug Performance & Media Art Center (BPMAC) was founded. Though recognized as an important Denver alternative arts center, the organization floundered financially. In 1998, Donna Morrison and Alex Weimer took on the roles of Artistic Director and Technical Director, respectively, and founded the resident Bug Theatre Company (BTC). The company flourished and gained critical acclaim & financial stability. Today it continues to foster a supportive community of artists in Denver by providing the opportunity for the development of unique voices, a diverse audience, and dynamic programming. Thank you to The Bug Theatre for hosting the inaugural Laugh Track Comedy Festival. Only two weeks until the big event and we can’t wait to show some funny films to the Denver audience and see all of the comedians rock it on stage!
