After Orlando
Benchmark Theatre presented AFTER ORLANDO, a collaborative performance event to benefit the Human Rights Campaign on November 14 & 15, 2016 at Vintage Theatre Productions.
AFTER ORLANDO is an international theatre action curated by NoPassport Press and theatre alliance and Missing Bolts Productions in observance of the massacre at the Pulse Nightclub Orlando earlier this year in Florida. From September through December of 2016, productions were performed across the globe and Benchmark Theatre was excited to bring this action to the Denver community.
The performances featured artists and companies from across the Denver/Boulder region in readings of 12 of these powerful plays and included a reception and silent auction that raised $2,000 to support the Human Rights Campaign.

Who or What the Heck Is Off Kilter?
Off Kilter is a dynamic a cappella singing troupe composed of select members of the larger Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. Formerly known as Sing Out Louise, Off Kilter performs in numerous smaller venues across the Denver area throughout the year, engaging communities, causes, and audiences young and old with familiar favorites and modern melodies alike. The group can also be seen performing during the larger concerts each year with the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus, as well as the Denver Women’s Chorus and Out Loud: The Colorado Springs Men’s Chorus. Off Kilter will have their own set in the upcoming GALA Chorus Convention in July, be sure to check them out for some fantastic a cappella music!
