He then moved back to continue his exploration of the art. He directed and owned HeadGames for a time and then started the Acme Comedy Players. Four years later Eric and his wife Denise Maes founded the Bovine Metropolis Theater. They have been in business for over 10 years and operating the space at 1527 Champa for the last 8 years.

Shannon Wood Rothenberg

teaches improv and is the Education Director at the Bovine! She regularly performs with several long-form improv groups and is excited to be a member of both the Denver cast of "Hit & Run: Musical Improv" and "The Draw." ...Speaking of The Draw, if you're a current Bovine student or alum, sign up at 7 on Thursdays for a chance to play with a great group of improvisers. Bring 4 people with you and you're guaranteed a slot. ...And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Shannon loves helping stray dogs, Vivaldi's oboe concertos, all things Scottish, and her freakishly adorable twins. And no, that’s not her real hair color. Duh.

Stephen is the founder and director of Hit and Run: Musical Improv, Colorado's only improvised musical, and he is also the executive producer of The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show, which performs regularly in Denver and Colorado Springs.

We welcome new players for The Draw! Every week audience members' names are put in a hat and picked to play with us, and if you bring four or more people with you you are guaranteed to play!

Natasha Gleichmann

Natasha is thrilled to be an "Ace" for the Draw during BMX on Thursday nights at the Bovine. She has also played with On The Spot and Hit and Run while here. Natasha received her B.A. in Theatre from Pomona College and studied at the London Dramatic Academy. She recently came to the realization that sometimes it is good to be able to eat and pay rent, and will therefore graduate with her MBA from CU Denver in July. When not doing homework or on stage (so...never), she enjoys drinking a good dirty soy chai, singing opera, and watching Grey's Anatomy.
