He Said/She Said’s Favorite of 2011, Number 9: Avenue Q at Vintage Theatre
Deb Flomberg – The Examiner2011 was quite a year for the Denver Theatre Community. Several new theatre companies truly stepped up, showing that good theatre doesn't always have to do with budget or set, or it can even take place in a rug store. Theatre will leave you laughing and singing all the way home. Theatre can also make you angry or uncomfortable, and in some cases it can do all of the above. One thing is clear – the Denver Theatre Community is alive and robust, full of amazing artists and some of the most creative people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. As 2011 ends, here are the newly named Flomby awards for 2011. It is a look back at the top shows, top companies, and top people that truly stood out.
10.
Show: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Company: PHAMALy

PHAMALy continues to prove time and time again that they are deserving of all the national recognition they receive. This production was no exception. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying can be a dated show, but PHAMALy did a tremendous job, thanks in part to some really fantastic leads.
9.
Show: The Grapes of Wrath
Company: Vintage Theatre Productions
2011 was quite a year for Vintage Theatre Productions. Part of their mission is to bring classics back to the stage, and The Grapes of Wrath certainly fits into that category. This production was an emotionally powerful, heart wrenching version of a beloved classic. From the first moments when Kurt Brighton took the stage with his soulful singing, to the final moments that had brought torrents of tears, this was one production I will not soon forget.
8.
Show: The Liar
Company: Denver Center Theatre Company
The Denver Center Theatre Company took a few opportunities this year to show their funny side, and this was a tremendous example. David Ives is known for his linguistic flair, and The Liar is the perfect addition to the Ives catalog. The Denver Center production of The Liar was a hilarious journey with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
7.
Show: Side by Side by Sondheim
Company: Cherry Creek Theatre
This musical revue was the inaugural production for Cherry Creek Theatre, and it took place in a rug store – and somehow it all worked perfectly. It was a tremendous stroll through the catalog of one of the greatest artists to ever grace the Broadway stage, it featured four dazzling singers, and it was a welcome introduction to Denver's newest company.
6.
Show: The Field
Company: Denver Victorian Playhouse
Technically strong, with a wonderful set design, this show was like sinking yourself into a good novel. A strong story, fine performances, and a delightful experience all made The Field a show that was worth every moment. Sadly, we also said goodbye to The Denver Victorian Playhouse this year, and The Field will go down as a strong reminder of what a wonderful theatre we lost.
5.
Show: Extremities
Company: The Edge Theatre Company
Extremities is the perfect example of theatre that makes you uncomfortable, angry, upset, and every other negative emotion that one can think of. The script is a difficult but the strength of this play was in the production. The direction was very insightful, with meaningful action and powerful emotions. With impeccable performances from each cast member, this was a show that truly became a powerhouse of emotion. It was also a fantastic introduction to another new Denver Theatre company.
4.
Show: Don't Dress for Dinner
Company: Miners Alley Playhouse
And sometimes the best theatre just makes you laugh. A Lot. Don’t Dress for Dinner was simply a hysterically funny show put together by hysterically talented people. Each performance was impeccable, and I found myself laughing from beginning to end. Once again Miners Alley proves that they can put together a hilarious evening that is absolutely worth the trip to Golden.
3.
Show: Grey Gardens
Company: Vintage Theatre Productions
I’ve never once been so intrigued by a production that I immediately went home to research more about the source material. That is, until the production of Grey Gardens at Vintage Theatre. The minute I left the theatre I found myself at home watching the documentary, desperate to learn more about these women that I’d just met on stage.
