Denver/Charlotte Theaters Bet on Super Bowl 50

February 4, 2016
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) has announced a friendly wager taking place between the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Phamaly Theatre Company (Team Broncos) VS. Blumenthal Performing Arts and Children's Theatre of Charlotte (Team Panthers).

THE TERMS:
  • Losing city's theatre must incorporate an element of the opposing team into the set of a future production. With a Broncos win, Children's Theatre of Charlotte will incorporate a Broncos logo in a pre-show announcement for Schoolhouse Rock Live! in April. Blumenthal Performing Arts will include a Broncos-related item in the Charlotte Squawks set in June. (In the extremely 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. Phamaly will be adding some Panthers magnets and images to the refrigerator on the set of Fuddy Meers.)
  • Staff of losing city's theatre companies must wear the opposing team's colors to work on Monday, February 8 and 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 8-14.
