About us

Counterweight Theatre Lab is focused on intimate and honest productions that ask important questions, stimulate the senses, and tell unique stories. We like to change what’s expected wherever we can, whether in the casting of roles, the staging of a show, or other theatrical norms, and the audience of a Counterweight show is guaranteed to be right up close to (or part of) the action and be confronted with characters and stories at the edge of human experience. We’re interested in exceptional situations, in dissent, in exile, and in homecoming. With your help, we will continue to promote theatre in Colorado Springs and tell lasting, meaningful, and thought-provoking stories.

We perform at and as part of Boucher Art and Stage, a new experimental art and performance space in downtown Colorado Springs, located at 328 N. Nevada Avenue.

hamlet
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Spring 2025

Hamlet is visited by the ghost of their murdered father and decides to avenge him. One of the greatest works in the English language is made newly relevant, shockingly intimate, and accessible in a way you’ve never seen before.

Information about auditions will be shared soon.
