In Living Colored was born in 2018 when Michael Anthony Tatmon moved to Fort Collins and walked into The Bas Bleu Theatre to audition. He immediately struck up a friendship with the company and made a plan to co-produce a play he had been passionate about for years, Thurgood.  Zhanna Gurvich saw the value of the play to school kids studying American history and introduced Michael to social studies teachers within PSD. They produced the play for several high school and middle school classes and made plans to produce more plays in schools and community centers throughout Colorado. Then came the pandemic, production paused and priorities got rearranged. In 2022, we eased back into production with a staged reading of an original new work by local playwright William Wright, Clarice and Michelangelo.  In 2024 Thurgood was playing at The Lincoln Center to enthusiastic crowds of adults and students.

This season we are working to extend our reach and repertoire with more productions at more venues. We are in our new office at the Community Impact Center and extremely excited about our new partnerships with FoCo Cafe, All Saints Episcopal Church, Ginger and Baker, and all our new friends at the CIC.
