Glowing Goose Productions presents Fiddler on the Roof | Jan. 15-25
2026-01-15 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Denver) | Grace Gamm Theatre, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Fiddler on the Roof has captured the imagination of cultures around the world for decades with its universal theme of tradition confronting modernity. It has been a shared dream for Sarah Nowak (director) and Rabbi Marc Soloway (Tevye) to produce this show, and this feels like the right moment.
As we see a dramatic rise in antisemitism and a world filled with dehumanization, bigotry and violence, Anatevka is both a specific, particular time and space in Jewish history and also any place where people have been persecuted and driven out of their lands. The particular and the universal are captured in this story, which we hope to tell in a way that connects us to the past, present and future.
This musical is presented by Glowing Goose Productions in partnership with Congregation Bonai Shalom, Congregation Nevei Kodesh, and the Boulder JCC.

MycoMorphosis: Dancing with Fungi | Jan. 23-25
2026-01-23 19:30 - 21:00 | Carsen Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, Colorado, 80302, United States
TICKETS
MycoMorphosis: Dancing with Fungi is a multimedia Bio-Art project directed by choreographer Iván-Daniel Espinosa. Inspired by the underground networks of mycelium that connect the roots of thousands of plants and trees, this live performance incorporates mycology and myco-sculpture with electroacoustic soundscapes and Japanese Butoh dance to bring to life the fascinating world of fungi in an immersive theatrical setting. For this performance, Espinosa and his collaborators have designed a 10-foot tall maze-like sculpture made up of fungal colonies with fruiting mushrooms of different species. Musical soundscapes are created in real time by hooking up the fungi to bio-sensor and bio-sonification devices that convert the mycelium’s electrical and textural activity into Live sounds. The installation is further activated by dancers performing a choreography in the style of Japanese Butoh (舞踏, Butō) inspired by the vibrant ecosystems of fungi and their shapeshifting movement through time and space. MycoMorphosis: Dancing with Fungi creates a multi-sensory and mind-bending experience that demonstrates a deeply intimate relationship to nature, where the distinctions between human and non-human worlds disintegrate in slow and attentive bodily practice.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER:
Iván-Daniel Espinosa is a dance choreographer and installation artist that creates interdisciplinary artwork engaged with ecology, mushrooms, climate change, and interspecies performance. Iván-Daniel is a current PhD Candidate in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder and he also holds a Master of Arts in Performance Studies from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Iván-Daniel’s PhD dissertation research at CU Boulder examines the intersections of performance and mycology, focusing on the relationships between human bodies and mycelium fungi networks through the lenses of choreography and performance studies.
As a scholar and artist, Iván-Daniel specializes in Butoh (舞踏, Butō), an avant-garde form of dance that was developed by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1960’s Tokyo. For over a decade, Iván-Daniel has trained with many renowned Japanese master teachers from the lineage of Hijikata including Natsu Nakajima, Saga Kobayashi, Koichi and Hiroko Tamano, Semimaru and Dai Matsuoka of SANKAI JUKU, and Moe Yamamoto of Kanazawa Butoh-Kan. Iván-Daniel’s formative training began in 2014 with Seattle Butoh pioneer Joan Laage, who continues to serve as his foremost teacher and collaborator to this day. Iván-Daniel is the Executive Producer of the Salish Sea Butoh Festival, an annual convergence that takes place on the Olympic Peninsula to deepen the study of Japanese Butoh with artists from all over the world.
** MycoMorphosis: Dancing with Fungi is funded in part by a Community Project Grant from the Boulder Arts Commission, an agency of the Boulder City Council. This project is also supported by additional grants and funding from the CU Office for Public and Community-Engaged Scholarship and the Nature, Environment, Science & Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts. **

“So many beautiful moments; they had the full attention of every single individual lucky enough to have been there to experience greatness in writing, character, and humility.” – Suzanne D.
”The show was nothing like I’ve seen before. There was laughter, joy, and tears at different times and each artist had a unique style of delivery that made the show engaging, real, and raw. If you are curious or intrigued, definitely make the time to see it. You will be happy you did!” – Jean D.

“Your performance was awe-inspiring. The entire performance of the 3 of you was one of the most moving emotionally I have ever experienced. From the depths of sorrow to the heights of laugher it flowed seamlessly and effortlessly. Ya’ll had the audience every second. Not a dry eye in the room. Brilliantly organized and choreographed. Your ending with the message of hope and love was more than perfect. Wow, I’m still enthralled.” – Bruce M.
Performing: Katie Mason, Elaina McMillan, Andrea Sodergren
Andrea Sodergren is a head strong powerhouse. Her drive for success is indisputable as evidenced by winning athletic competitions, conquering businesses, and jet-setting across the country for her wildly successful stand-up show, Moms Unhinged. But once she finally slows down and gets quiet, the emotions begin to flow. Deep love pours through as she remembers her late father, navigates post-divorce dating, and embraces empty nesting. This show has helped Andrea find her tender side allowing her to practice strengthening her softness and vulnerability.
Elaina McMillan is all heart. The kind of fluttering, optimistic, sweet heart typically found in the innocence of a child. This heart is her blessing to this world and her challenge to face, as she unfolds into the fear and grief associated with slowly losing her mother to Alzheimer’s, navigating her son’s fentanyl addiction, and facing the new reality of a chronic illness. How can this hypnotist, belief coach, and comic make peace with pain when her tendency is to move away from it? Hear her journey as Elaina deepens in the trust that she can be with ALL of life and still keep her sweet heart open.
Katie Mason IS soul. She infuses depth and intention into everything she does because she cannot be any other way. As a Poet Laureate and psychotherapist, Katie embodies a commitment to both spiritual and personal growth. When she shares herself, she brings a courageous openness to grief along with a grounded, authentic presence. Her gift to this show is to create space for others to explore and embrace their own truth as she shares hers.
