We’ve just arrived in sunny Arizona, where we’ll be spending a few days visiting some of our wonderful users and getting ready for the NAPAMA (North American Performing Arts Managers and Agents) Retreat at the Fox Tucson Theatre.

It’s always a highlight to visit organizations in person, hear what’s working for them, and see their work up close. It's set to be a great few days of connection, shared ideas, and fresh perspectives with the Arizona arts community!

We’re delighted to welcome The Colorado Chautauqua to Spektrix!

Considered THE western representation of the chautauqua movement and located at the base of the Flatirons, this National Historic Landmark is the only Chautauqua west of the Mississippi still operating with its original structures. The chautauqua movement originated in the late 19th century, bringing communities together through lifelong learning, love of nature, voluntary simplicity, music, and the arts.

Now in its second century, the Colorado Chautauqua welcomes over one million visitors each year with cultural, educational, social, and recreational experiences, from music and performances to gatherings in its historic cottages and grounds.

We’re so pleased to have you with us!

We’re thrilled to welcome The Ensemble Theatre Houston to Spektrix!

Influenced by the African American Theatre Movement of the 1960s and 70s, and frustrated by the lack of opportunities for Black actors, George Hawkins established his own company in Houston, Texas in 1976, then known as the Black Ensemble Company. Hawkins’ goal was to create a theater that would provide diverse roles for Black artists.

Today the Ensemble Theatre continues to expand and create innovative programs to bring African American theatre to a wide range of audiences.

A warm welcome to the community, we’re delighted to have you with us!
