November 19, 2017

Here at Go Play Denver, we think experiences make the best gifts, but we also understand the desire to wrap something up. Here are some unique gift ideas in both categories.  Continue Reading

Witty, Weird and Wonderful

November 15, 2017

An instant Buntport classic! “Edgar Allan Poe Is Dead and So Is My Cat” has everything including a Poe-obsessed 40-year-old man who lives in his sister’s basement, a house without a proper door, an awkward cat funeral, an abundance of Poe references, cheesy literary t-shirts, a “suit with anecdotes” and of course extremely hilarious moments that leave you gasping for breath as you laugh so hard you cry. We loved it and think you should see it. Tickets are $18 online and $20 at the door. Shown  Continue Reading

Art Augmented

November 9, 2017

Now you see it, now you don't! Way more than some tech gimmick, the new augmented reality (AR) tool available at the Clyfford Still Museum as part of their current exhibition "Still & Art" gives visitors fresh context and perspective on artists and works that may have influenced Still. Visitors can use one of the phablets to zoom in on these virtual works by simply walking toward the wall and even examine the texture of the paint by moving the device around. A fascinating (and really fun!)  Continue Reading

Dreams Delivered

November 9, 2017

With the Dream Delivery Service, Mathias Svalina writes and delivers dreams to subscribers every day for a month. To nearby subscribers, Svalina hand-delivers the dreams—brief surrealist narratives he writes & encloses in small pink envelopes–to their doors, biking through the empty streets of Denver before dawn. Svalina started the Dream Delivery Service 2014, hoping to devise a new sort of relationship with a reader, a new kind of reading intimacy. In addition to his delivery service, th  Continue Reading

Macbeth Reimagined

October 2, 2017

This is not the Macbeth you remember from English class. Rather, it's a contemporary dance-infused production that feels more like an evening out at a techno nightclub than a trip to the theater. Performed by an all male cast clad in black boots, minimal clothing and lots of leather, this performance takes a decidedly edgy approach to a classic tale. While the language of the play remains true to the original, the characters are brought into the present as actors incorporate modern day body  Continue Reading

Knotty Tie Co.

February 19, 2017

"We're not really that into ties" is a strange comment from a man who along with a college classmate founded a company dedicated to creating custom bow ties, neckties, scarves and more. And yet, this is the true story of Knotty Tie Co., a company founded by Jeremy Priest and Mark Johnson. As Johnson clarifies, for both he and Priest, it was always about creating meaningful employment opportunities for an underserved, though talented group of people: resettled refugees and asylum-seekers. They  Continue Reading

Neighborhood Ties: Lincoln Park

January 25, 2017

“Every house in that neighborhood is 120+ years old. Our house is 127, I believe. It's a 1,400-squart-foot Victorian with a great yard. And it's historic from a foliage perspective too. We have great old trees.”  -Ricardo Baca, Lincoln Park neighbor  Continue Reading
