In the Heights - March 2-April 2, 2023

From the creator and star of Hamilton comes Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Tony Award-winning musical, a love-letter to the community in upper Manhattan where he still lives. In The Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
Little Shop of Horrors - April 28-30, 2023
Making its return to The Colorado Springs School stage for the first time since 2002 (and 1996), "Little Shop of Horrors" – with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken – is a gleefully gruesome musical about Seymour, a poor florist's assistant, who allows his craving for fame and fortune to seduce him into playing nursemaid to a man-eating plant from another galaxy. Goings on surrounding the growing plant's demand for more are accompanied by witty parodies of '60s music (a tribute to The Colorado Springs School's milestone 60th year). Between bites, the carnivorous Audrey II brings down the house singing rhythm and blues à la Otis Reading or James Brown!
Pikes Peak Birding & Nature Festival - May 18-21, 2023
As the Pikes Peak Birding and Nature Festival heads into the 8th year of the festival, birders can look forward to another amazing array of bird species.

The Pikes Peak region has much to offer, with the short-grass prairie rising to meet the forested foothills and deep canyons of the southern Front Range, and rich, riparian forests providing for countless birds, insects, and other wildlife.
