Here’s your first look at “Animal Crackers,” opening tonight at the Stage Theatre. From the zinging one-liners to its slapstick brilliance, this boisterous and raucous comedy about the theft of a valuable painting from a society dinner party is quintessential Marx Brothers mayhem. “Animal Crackers” plays from April 4-May 11 in the Stage Theatre at the Denver Performing Arts Complex.
