Colorado's only black, Chicano theaters moving up

The Denver Post: "When you are an 'only,' Denver Councilwoman Deborah Ortega said, 'You are as essential as a heartbeat.' More than 95 Colorado theater companies have performed at least one play in the past 12 months. But we have only one black theater company. Only one Chicano troupe. In a state where 28 percent of the population is non-Anglo. With a capital city where, as of August, minority groups make up the majority of the population for the first time."
