Strasburg jokes that the two theaters were mortal enemies before teaming up. But in reality, they all cared about the same thing: the live-music community in Boulder and the larger music community in Colorado. “We looked at each other finally and said, ‘Why are we essentially bringing war to something that's about love?’” Strasburg recalls. “'Wouldn't we be better off if we worked together for the sake of everybody...and for the music, the community's best interest?' It was a win-win.”“We see it not only as taking care of our patrons, but taking care of our artists,” he says. “That's one of those things that's been passed down for so long from the Fox from the early days.
