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.

THE COPPER CUP
BY SOREN NARNIA

NOVEMBER 8-24, 2024

FRIDAYS & SATURDAYS | 7pm
SUNDAYS | 5pm

Marie Cauliff gives tours of her childhood home, which is notorious for being the site of a series of grisly murders committed in the 19th century. While working with her brother to juggle the tours as well as their father’s sudden illness, Marie must delve into the fog of her own childhood memories when she finds that her brother doesn’t remember “Uncle Gray,” a mysterious and unexplained presence from her childhood. This thoughtful and foreboding horror tale by previous Counterweight favorite Soren Narnia is adapted for the stage for the first time here. Intimate and unsettling, The Copper Cup tells a story of family, fear, and how well we can trust our own memories.

Performed at and in partnership with Boucher Art & Stage (328 N Nevada Ave)
