Written by Lindsay Joelle and Directed by GerRee Hinshaw.

Danny is a white, blue-collar, born-and-bred New Yorker. Marlowe is Black, Ivy-League-educated, and just joined the sanitation department. They’ve got one thing in common: the route. Over the course of countless trash pickups, this odd couple bickers, bonds, and uncovers unexpected truths about themselves—and the city they serve. Directed by GerRee Hinshaw (Dream Hou$e), The Garbologists is a sharp and heartfelt comedy about finding connection in the mess of everyday life. It closes our 50th season with grit, laughter, and plenty of trash talk.

UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats.
