We love when any show comes to The Denver Center for Performing Arts, but especially when the show ifs fun for the whole family. LIFE OF PI is one of those shows, bringing world class puppetry and stunning visuals to The Buell Theatre.

LIFE OF PI is based on the novel by Yann Martel.

My kids have always really enjoyed the movie, so this one we will all want to see. Recommended for ages 10 and up*, LIFE OF PI is the perfect opportunity to introduce your tweens and teens to the joy of the theatre.

LIFE OF PI plays at The Buell Theatre from March 18 to 30.

A THEATRICAL EVENT UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE!  

Winner of three Tony Awards® and the Olivier Award for Best Play, the Broadway and West End sensation LIFE OF PI is “an exhilarating evening of theater” (The Wall Street Journal). Based on the novel that sold more than 15 million copies and became a worldwide phenomenon, LIFE OF PI is an epic story of perseverance and hope that speaks to every generation and “gives new life to Broadway” (“The Today Show”). After a shipwreck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi survives on a lifeboat with four companions — a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. Told with jaw-dropping visuals, world-class puppetry and exquisite stagecraft, LIFE OF PI creates a breathtaking journey that will leave you filled with awe and joy.
