ABOUT US

Becky Toma – Historian and Writer

I have been an active part of the Colorado Theatre Community since the 1970’s. Since that time, I have collected many old programs and wonderful theatre stories. I hope to put items in a book one day, but until then — please enjoy!

Eric Rivedal – Webmaster and Image Archivist

I worked at the Bonfils Theatre and a few other theaters in the 1970’s and then drifted away to other pursuits. I’ve been fortunate to keep up relationships with a few of my theatrical friends, so have continued experiencing theater vicariously through them.

I’ve been collecting photos and historical images for many years and am an avid albeit amateur photographer.

    The Historic Tabor Opera House has had a recent face-lift and a new lease on life as a

    I have read only the first 370 pages of Henry’s autobiography. Thank you Erik. I am trying to get more Bonfils Ballet dancers to read it. I am amazed at the details of not only his life but of the passion for the highest level of theater excellence. I now know why I always felt safe and secure under his direction. Bonfils was HOME. Also it is great to read about his view to correct some public ideas about Community Theater and Helen. Thank you Henry for providing a place to artistically learn and grow.
