• Introducing out New Theater Director

  10/7/2025
  Greetings, Future Mustangs! 

  
  

  My name is Nicoletta Maes, and I am delighted to join Mullen’s staff as the new Director of Theatre! Born and raised in Fort Collins, CO, I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre, then went on to receive my Master of Education from the University of Northern Colorado. I’ve spent the last 3 years teaching in the Denver Metro area and am thrilled to bring my expertise and experience to the Mullen Theatre Department!

  
  

  At Mullen High School, we take pride in our immersive and hands-on Theatre Department. Here is a snapshot of what you can expect from our program:

  • All aspects of the theater are truly student-designed and produced, including sets, lighting, costumes, props, marketing, and more.
  • Our program fosters real-world connections, featuring guest speakers, workshops with local theaters, and theatre-based trips outside of the state. We encourage our students to acquire relevant technical and networking skills, preparing them for a wide range of theatrical opportunities in the field. 
  • We produce two plays and a musical dinner theatre each year
  • Our department hosts Theatre Troupe #778, an official student Colorado Thescon troupe. We also attend the Colorado Thescon festival annually.

  We invite you to attend our fall production of Radium Girls on October 23rd, 24th, and 25th at 7 pm in our Rilko Theatre. We welcome all questions and invite you to be a part of our phenomenal department, where everyone is welcome and has a place and purpose. 

  
  

  Warmly,
  
  

  Ms. Maes

• Mullen Theatre preps for the final show of the Year: Neil Simons "The Odd Couple (Female Version)"

  4/23/2025
  Mullen's Theatre program will produce a comedic show this May to round out a full year of shows with The Odd Couple by Neil Simon. The cast will be doing an all-female version of the classic concept and show.
  
  Shows will be May 1st, 2nd and 3rd at 7:00pm in the Rilko Event Center. Tickets are on sale now for $12 for adults, $5 for students and Mullen Students get in free. 
  
  

  Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might attempt suicide, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.
