Why go to just any costume party when you can go to a 1920s-themed shindig that’s also a 360 degree musical experience?
You’re invited to leave your inhibitions (and Prohibitions) behind as you join a decadent party in the Roaring Twenties, brought to you by the producers of Sweet & Lucky. Indulge your inner flapper as you mingle with an unruly mix of vaudevillians, playboys, divas, and ingénues in a Manhattan apartment lost in time. Debauchery turns disastrous as wild guests become unhinged and their solo songs reveal the drama bubbling underneath the surface. Whether you’re a wallflower or a jitterbug, you’ll think this jazz- and gin-soaked immersive musical is the bee’s knees.
Pro Tip: For optimum fun levels, bring a friend, get dolled up and buy a drink at the bar at the beginning of the show so you can feel even more a part of the party.
21+ ONLY. ID required at check in. Performance takes place in the Hangar at Stanley Marketplace

40th Annual Denver Film Festival
2017-11-01 - 2017-11-12 | CO
You don’t need to be a hardcore cinephile in order to enjoy the Denver Film Festival. With more than 250 films that include blockbusters, docs, shorts, Colorado films, international films, student films, and indies, you’re sure to find more than one film you can’t wait to see. In addition to the films, there are also some fascinating speakers. The organizer of this festival, the Denver Film Society, has worked tirelessly since 1978 to promote the medium as both an art form and a civic forum through screenings, community outreach projects and unique special events all year long. We love the way DFS engages both is members and the general public in a lifelong, life-altering relationship with, and understanding of, film and film culture.
Pro Tip: For once, waiting until the last minute can save you money. Pop by the Festival Annex Box Office (we should consider calling this McNichols to avoid confusion) November 2-11, 11:00am-2:00pm, to purchase $5 tickets for a select group of same-day screening. These films may be showing at either the Sie FilmCenter of the UA Denver Pavilions.
