Theater
“Frost/Nixon” getsfirst Colorado staging
today. The venerable Longmont Theater Company has landed an unusual coup: the first Colorado staging of the recent acclaimed Broadway hit, “Frost/Nixon.” British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock and Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the presidency in disgrace over the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in the hope of extracting an apology from Nixon. The cagey president, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. The result is the interview that sealed a journalist’s career — and a president’s legacy. 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; also 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 at 513 Main St., 303-772-5200 or .
