On the surface Colorado is a wickedly funny dark comedy, but at its heart is an examination of celebrity worship within one family. Seventeen-year-old Tracey Ackhart is crowned Miss Late Teen Colorado and then mysteriously vanishes one day before the national pageant. Her jealous stage mother, her doting father, and her Maury Povich-obsessed little brother all have reasons to want her dead—if they weren't so dependent on her success for their own misguided dreams of happiness. A world premiere by a fast-rising local playwright who's also a member of the brilliant comedy troupe Killing My Lobster, Colorado is a sharp satire that aims for the gut—with too many pies to count.
