David’s latest work, The Martians, was named by The New York Times Book Review as one of the most anticipated books of the summer. Seven years in the making, this “captivating and vivid history” (Publishers Weekly) explores a curious chapter in American history when the existence of Martians was taken seriously—not as science fiction, but as science. It is a tale that resonates today as NASA rovers search for signs of life on the red planet and a conspicuous tech billionaire touts his plans to colonize Mars.
Please use the North Side Canyon Entrance if arriving after 6:30 p.m. Parking is available in both the Canyon and Arapahoe lots. To reach the theater from the Arapahoe lot, you can cross the creek using the exterior bridge.
