Blue Vagabond Premiere $19 April 10, 2009

DENVER, Mar. 24, 2009—What happens when you cross paths with The Blue Vagabond? He is homeless and pushes a cart full of stuff, some of it for sale. But his most important possession is his words, he is a poet and sees with big eyes. If you listen to his stories, you can receive his gift.

The story of the Blue Vagabond is a lyric metaphor of every person’s desire and search for meaning in their life, portrayed though the life of a homeless vagabond poet. In these days of lost jobs and failed interviews, the Blue Vagabond reveals how close each one of us is to the Vagabond pushing his cart. In the Denver Post review of the 2005 production, Bob Bows said the Blue Vagabond is, “as compelling an evening of theater as you will find anywhere.”

The Blue Vagabond opens Friday, April 10, 2009. Jeff Campbell, a.k.a. A.P.O.S.T.L.E., plays the Blue Vagabond. Miranda LeQuire plays the other characters of the world of the Blue Vagabond. Kurt Lewis directs, and is also the playwright. The musical score was written by Mike Crom.
