An immersive theater is coming to Blake Street, and the city says it’s the world’s first

A 380-page show, 11 character arcs simultaneously happening, a cabaret lounge, a cocktail bar, two floors – all pieces of one man’s ambitious production.

Steve Wargo is the creative mind behind Denver Immersive Repertory Theater (DIRT), a new theater coming to LoDo. He’s writing, directing and producing the experience.

Currently under construction, Wargo’s show is being built in real time.

“You’ll come in and you’ll make a left and there’s going to be a hutch-kiosk-desk contraption here, that’s a merch stand, but also our front desk,” Wargo points to a pile of boxes, before gesturing to a hole in the wall. “You’ll get your ticket scanned there and then you will come to this corner and this whole thing is our coat check because you will have to check all your coats, bags, hats, phones.”
