After over a year and a half of preparation and construction, The Simpich Showcase in Old Colorado City is now open to the public! The facility houses three distinct facets that together offer an exciting and unusual center for the arts. The Simpich Character Doll Museum now houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of figures by doll artists Jan and Bob Simpich, displayed in over 50 diorama settings. The history and artistry of the Simpich Doll business, which operated in this same building for nearly three decades, is carefully explored and many rare and one-of-a-kind pieces are highlighted. The Museum is included with paid admission to the Theatre; single admissions are also available at the door without theatre admission: $5 to $7. The 70-seat
Simpich Showcase Theatre
has opened its doors with the
award-winning marionette production, The Hans Christian Andersen
Storybook, a play that dramatically and humorously explores the
themes of Andersen’s most enduring tales. Puppeteer David Simpich
portrays Denmark’s famous storyteller and brings his literary creations
to life with a full-cast of hand-carved marionettes.
