The Garbologists — Colorado Springs event

The Garbologists

Written by Lindsay Joelle and Directed by GerRee Hinshaw. Danny is a white, blue-collar, born-and-bred New Yorker. Marlowe is Black, Ivy-League-educated, and just joined the sanitation department. They’ve got one thing in common: the route. Over the course of countless trash pickups, this odd couple bickers, bonds, and uncovers unexpected truths about themselves—and the city they serve. Directed by GerRee Hinshaw (Dream Hou$e), The Garbologists is a sharp and heartfelt comedy about finding connection in the mess of everyday life. It closes our 50th season with grit, laughter, and plenty of trash talk. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains strong language and adult themes.

He assumes a new identity and joins a team of hard rock miners who toil under the thumb of Roy Shatterly, a man as cruel as he is rich. All is well until Armstrong falls for a beautiful and spirited mule skinner who has also caught Shatterly’s eye.

Gifts That Shape Us — Colorado Springs event
Jun 18, 2026, 4:00 AM

Gifts That Shape Us

From the museum’s earliest days, gifts of art have shaped this institution and the permanent collection it stewards. More than half of the collection arrived through the generosity of artists, donors, and others who gifted important works or funds that have made key purchases possible. These acts of giving didn’t just add works; they defined the collection’s scope and vision. Alice Bemis Taylor’s foundational gift of art from the Southwest grounded the FAC in this region. Meredith Sage Hare’s donation of American modernist paintings and sculptures set sights on the avant-garde. Subsequent gifts have continued this dual commitment—grounded in the Southwest, attentive to what’s new—while also broadening the FAC’s collecting scope. This exhibition brings together gifts from across the museum’s ninety-year history, from foundational donations to recent acquisitions that continue shaping the collection today.

June Exhibits

June Exhibits at Surface Gallery: featuring Gail Nelson, Naomi Falk, and a Rewilding: a group exhibition “A Rewilding Journey” by Gail M. Nelson is an immersive installation which highlights that everything in nature is moving and changing; nothing is static. This observation spiraled into an art installation based on how nature grows and rewilds. This exhibit demonstrates how art and nature connect to create a repurposed habitat. The relationship between biodiversity and creating with mixed media is explored with materials that had a life prior to their inclusion in an artwork. Recycled paper, yarn, water-based paint, collaged botanical prints, willows and wood come together in a 3D space full of organic shapes, movement and eco themes. “Yes, and…” features textile work by Naomi Falk. She writes, “Dreaming through improvisational play, I make my way through these anxious times and momentary nows. Inspired by Ross Gay, Muriel Rukeyser, among many more people, creatures, and events, I ponder the delight and difficulty of living together in this “human place”. What does it mean to dig through what remains (donated fabrics, clothing, textiles, stuff)? What is lost and found? Through these processes, I piece together new stories, discovering softness, survival, and abundant possibilities.”, “Rewilding: a group show”, is a juried group exhibition featuring 21 artists and over 30 works, celebrates the diversity and vitality of the natural world. From detailed representations of flora and fauna to abstract explorations of organic form, the exhibition offers a wide-ranging look at how artists engage with nature, sustainability, and interconnected ecosystems. This exhibit is the perfect compliment to our main exhibit by Gail Nelson.

June Exhibits

June Exhibits at Surface Gallery: featuring Gail Nelson, Naomi Falk, and a Rewilding: a group exhibition “A Rewilding Journey” by Gail M. Nelson is an immersive installation which highlights that everything in nature is moving and changing; nothing is static. This observation spiraled into an art installation based on how nature grows and rewilds. This exhibit demonstrates how art and nature connect to create a repurposed habitat. The relationship between biodiversity and creating with mixed media is explored with materials that had a life prior to their inclusion in an artwork. Recycled paper, yarn, water-based paint, collaged botanical prints, willows and wood come together in a 3D space full of organic shapes, movement and eco themes. “Yes, and…” features textile work by Naomi Falk. She writes, “Dreaming through improvisational play, I make my way through these anxious times and momentary nows. Inspired by Ross Gay, Muriel Rukeyser, among many more people, creatures, and events, I ponder the delight and difficulty of living together in this “human place”. What does it mean to dig through what remains (donated fabrics, clothing, textiles, stuff)? What is lost and found? Through these processes, I piece together new stories, discovering softness, survival, and abundant possibilities.”, “Rewilding: a group show”, is a juried group exhibition featuring 21 artists and over 30 works, celebrates the diversity and vitality of the natural world. From detailed representations of flora and fauna to abstract explorations of organic form, the exhibition offers a wide-ranging look at how artists engage with nature, sustainability, and interconnected ecosystems. This exhibit is the perfect compliment to our main exhibit by Gail Nelson.

POTUS

‘POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’ by Selina Fillinger Springs Ensemble Theatre to stage “POTUS” at PPSC First co-production at Pikes Peak State College since new partnership announcement brings zany summer comedy downtown. Springs Ensemble Theatre announces its June production of “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” by Selina Fillinger, running June 4 through June 21, 2026, at Studio West Mulliken Black Box at the Pikes Peak State College Downtown Campus. This marks SET’s first production at Pikes Peak State College since the two organizations announced a new partnership designed to strengthen the local theatre ecosystem by combining forces and creating opportunities for students to work alongside theatre professionals. What begins as a public relations nightmare spirals into a full-scale comic emergency. Rather than spoofing on one party or the other, “POTUS” satirizes the machinery of politics itself: ego, image management, scandal, institutional dysfunction, and the people left cleaning up (and potentially complicit in) the mess. At the center of the story is a truth often overlooked in public life: many of the people doing the hardest work, solving the biggest problems, and keeping institutions functioning are women whose influence is not always publicly recognized. “POTUS” turns that reality into comedy while also giving center stage to seven dynamic female characters who are smart, messy, strategic, funny, and fully human.

Hear/Say

From the Exhibition Coordinator/Curator: Through shared narratives and diverse viewpoints, we invite you to join us as Hear/Say dismantles stereotypes, fosters empathy, and amplifies voices that have long been marginalized. Our focus on high concentration cannabis use traverses various contexts – from medical treatment to recreational indulgence – prompting reflection on the delicate balance between anecdotal testimony, empirical research, and the particular harms that can occur for youth, pregnant and parenting people. Join us as we navigate the contours of this controversy, harnessing the power of art to shed light on the unspoken truths. In the pursuit of public health, we are called upon to navigate the complexities of evidence, policy, and societal values. Through dialogue, collaboration, and artistry, this exhibition becomes not only a platform for empowerment but also a catalyst for change. Join us as we confront controversy, challenge norms, and elevate the voices of those whose stories deserve to be heard.
