The Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek has seven shows remaining in the month of January (and more than a dozen on the books for February). With winter in full swing, the performances at the intimate theater in the heart of Beaver Creek are a perfect complement to a day on the slopes or an evening out in the village.
Coming up this week are three shows at the VPAC. From the kilted Maxwell Quartet performing Scottish folk music Sunday, to the Dance Theatre of Harlem bringing their professional touring company to the stage Tuesday, and The Simon & Garfunkel Story in concert Friday – there’s something for everyone this week.
