Theatre of the Mind




Before film there was radio, "theatre of the mind." You are invited to experience "War of the Worlds." The classic Halloween radio drama will air tonight at 7 pm on 98.9 FM KURA. The War of the Worlds was first performed as a Halloween radio special on October 30, 1938. The original broadcast made history in when it was mistaken for an actual news broadcast and panic ensued.

If you enjoy radio drama, stay tuned; KURA plans to air Ouray's own homegrown adaption of "A Christmas Carol", to be broadcast live from the Wright Opera House. More info on this event is forthcoming.

KURA broadcasts from the Ouray School. Daytime programming and community bulletin boards are managed by our students at the Ouray School. I'm working on keeping the dinner time jazz (5-7 pm) and evening Rock and Roots shows rolling and helping out some of our community DJs.

Winter Movies Return to Ouray


The re-opening of the historic Wright Opera House is not only cause for celebration, it is also the perfect venue for enjoying artsy/edgy/fun award winning movies through the winter months in Ouray.

We are working on an incredible lineup of award winning movies including independent festival selections that you won't be able to find on DVD. It's like having a film festival all winter long in Ouray.

We've been working with Kevin and Mel at Ouray Entertainment to get a great sound system and screen in place. Ethan Funk is donating the use of his incredible high def. DLP projector. Kevin and Mel are working to get rid of those old seats and get some new comfy seating. All in all, it should be an incredible venue for watching movies and socializing.
