As if a recent debut of a vampire musical wasn’t enough, autumn will officially and unequivocally slam into north Aurora this weekend. Saturday, Oct. 15, marks the arrival of the 21st annual FallFest in Fletcher Plaza, complete with pumpkin bowling, an obstacle course and giant tic-tac toe. The local fair, featuring live music, crafts and games like giant Jenga for kids, was the brainchild of Doris Emsley, a north Aurora community leader and former member of the neighborhood action team, according to Peg Alt, a community development outreach specialist with Original Aurora Renewal. The first incarnation of FallFest took place in 1995 and stemmed from Emsley requesting $50 from OAR to host a small gathering for about 35 children in the then-new Beeler Street Community Garden, according to Alt. Located at 1675 Beeler St., Emsley worked with the city and Denver Urban Gardens to develop the garden in 1992. This year’s festival will also feature bluegrass tunes compliments of Lonesome Days, brass music from the Gora Gora Orkestar and ditties from south of the border at the hands of Las Dahlias.

Based on a Tennessee Williams short story entitled “Portrait of a Girl in Glass,” “The Glass Menagerie” dissects the buttoned-up mayhem of the Wingfield family, a semi-proper southern clan that slowly, but systematically unravels. The tribe consists of Tom, a poet drowning in self-inflicted mediocrity who’s forced to provide for his mother and sister by working for $65 a day in a shoe factory; Laura, a disabled shut-in who is socially paralyzed by her own anxiety; and Amanda, the hen-like southern matriarch obsessed with the opulence of a former life. The plot centers on Amanda’s relentless quest to match her daughter with a gentleman caller, despite her child’s cripplingly anti-social tendencies. Laced with an ongoing skirmish with Tom over his happiness and commitment to the family, the show weaves in and out of different planes of reality and memory in a manner akin to the magical realism spun out by Williams’ Latin American contemporaries. The show closes this weekend.

Penned by Quiara Alegria Hudes and directed in Denver by Chip Walton, the production is a devastating and powerful analysis of what gels, and destroys, a struggling clan. Gabriella Cavellero stars as Odessa. The show closes this weekend.
