DCTC Announces Full Cast and Creative Teams for English and Somewhere

The Denver Center Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the full cast and creative teams for the final two productions of the 2025/26 Theatre Company Season: English by Sanaz Toossi (TIME magazine’s TIME 100, Wish You Were Here) and Somewhere by Matthew López (The Legend of Georgia McBride, “Red, White, and Royal Blue”). Performances for English and Somewhere will begin in the Spring.

“Closing our 2025/26 Theatre Company season with English and Somewhere feels like a celebration of everything theatre does best, illuminating the deeply personal while drawing us together in shared experience,” says Artistic Director Chris Coleman. “Sanaz Toossi’s English is a gently funny and a profoundly human story about identity and language. Matthew López’s Somewhere is a sweepingly beautiful heartfelt tribute to family, power of art in the face of change, and it will include stunning choreography all at the center of it. Together, these plays invite us to consider how we hold onto our roots and how we can dream forward. I’m delighted to share these extraordinary stories with our audiences to wrap up this season.”
