Ollin, El Centro Su Teatro‘s original production about the conquest of Mexico, has gotten rave reviews from both the Post and the Rocky. If you haven’t seen it, you’ve got three more weekends — the show runs Thurs. through Sun. from now until March 29th. Tickets cost $18 ($15 seniors) and are available at (303) 296-0219.
This will be one of Su Teatro’s last productions in its current Elyria location (4725 High St.). Judy helped the organization get funding for a new building on Santa Fe Drive, where it will be moving before too long.

A couple of weeks ago (Feb. 26), RTD hosted a meeting to gather public feedback re the siting of a commuter rail facility. An agreement was reached last year on a site northeast of downtown, but that was a casualty of the failed negotiations between RTD and the Union Pacific. So we’re back to the drawing board. Judy’s office forwarded a copy of the minutes from February 26 meeting; the gist of Judy’s position (as stated at the meeting is this:
The maintenance facility is going to impact a lot of development in River North, including the river district that is being discussed by the city and developers. The maintenance facility has to be integrated into those plans, no matter where it’s located, and the environmental impacts have to be discussed openly. The process has to be transparent. We want what’s clean and good for the neighborhood. We hope the maintenance facility becomes part of the neighborhood.
