- Where
- Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver

- Single tickets on sale through AXS; price not published on the organizer's site. Five-show season packages run $170 to $200.
Cleo Parker Robinson has run a Black dance company out of a converted Five Points church since 1970, and the 56th season opener is the rare night she brings outside companies onto a Denver stage alongside her own dancers. Caribe puts the National Dance Company of the Bahamas and New York's Dance Theatre of Harlem on the same bill, which is a lineup this city does not get in a normal season.
Two performances only: Saturday September 19 at 7:30 PM and Sunday September 20 at 2 PM, both at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House rather than the company's own theater on Park Avenue West. Doors open an hour before the Saturday curtain, at 6:30 PM.
