Friendly Super Bowl bet between two cities
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) just announced a friendly wager between two Denver theatres and two Charlotte theatres, that will be settled by the outcome of the 2016 Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and the Charlotte Panthers.
The DCPA and Phamaly Theatre Company will be cheering on the Broncos, while the Blumenthal Performing Arts and Children’s Theatre of Charlotte will be rooting for the Panthers. No money is on the line, but rather pride.
The rules are simple …
- Losing city’s theatres must incorporate an element of the opposing team into the set of a future production. (For example: in the unlikely event of a Broncos loss, the DCPA Theatre Company will place a framed photo of Cam Newton onto the set of their world premiere production of FADE).
- Staff of losing city’s theatre companies must wear the opposing team’s colors to work on Monday, February 8and document it on social media.
- Losing city’s theatres must buy a stuffed version of the opposing team’s mascot and prominently display it at their box office from February 8 to February 14.
The DCPA is the largest non-profit theatre organization in the nation, offering more than 40 plays and musicals year-round that engage and inspire audiences of all ages and interests. Phamaly is an award-winning Colorado based theatre company comprised entirely of performers with a wide variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. Phamaly’s mission is to inspire people to re-envision disability through professional theatre.
Who says the performing arts and football can’t mix?
