Motus Playback Theater brings an evening of live, interactive storytelling to the Erie Community Center, inviting residents to reflect on moments when they first felt at home in the community and in the land of Erie, Colorado. In recognition of Colorado’s 150th anniversary, this gathering offers space to honor the personal and collective journeys that continue to shape Erie today. Audience members can share reflections about finding home through family, migration, memory, or a sense of belonging in Erie, with stories that may be recent, long ago, or passed down across generations. Each account is brought to life on the spot by the Motus Playback Ensemble, as improvisational actors and musicians transform lived experiences into unscripted theater that encourages connection and understanding. After the performance, tea and cookies will be available to keep conversations going and help new connections take root. This family-friendly event welcomes ages 10 to 100 and celebrates Colorado’s sesquicentennial through living stories rather than history alone. The Town of Erie does not sponsor or endorse this event or the activity associated with it.

At Moxi Theater, Don McMillan brings a tech-infused stand-up show that playfully asks whether artificial intelligence can take the stage from humans.

His journey runs from Silicon Valley to viral recognition. He reached the Top 12 on America’s Got Talent and performed in the Finals, earning praise from every judge, including Simon Cowell. Online, his breakout video Life After Death by PowerPoint has surpassed 50 million views, and he became the first Dry Bar comedian to top one million Instagram followers. Additional highlights include a win at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and appearances on The Tonight Show, HBO, and Comedy Central. His clean, clever style has also connected with audiences at companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. All responsible ages are permitted at this performance.
