Go Play!

We believe that enjoying Denver's arts and culture scene is the perfect way to play, make new friends, and fall in love with the city. Here's what's on our radar right now.

Dior: From Paris to the World

March 6, 2019

  Don't miss this fantastic and fabulous exhibition at Denver Art Museum! About the Exhibition: Dior: From Paris to the World surveys 70 years of the house of Dior’s enduring legacy and its global influence. A selection of more than 200 couture dresses, as well as accessories, costume jewelry, photographs, drawings, runway videos, and other archival material, will trace the history of the iconic haute couture fashion house, its founder, Christian Dior, and the subsequent artistic d  Continue Reading

Anna Karenina

February 18, 2019

The magic of the theater is that it’s an experience that whisks you away to another world. In the case of “Anna Karenina” at Denver Center that is the world of the Russian aristocracy of the 1800s. The social norms of this time may seem foreign and antiquated to today’s audience, but this play, like the great work of literature that inspired it, still has the power to draw us in through the universal struggle of love, romance and finding our place in the world. And after the curtain falls, the co  Continue Reading

Natura Obscura

January 20, 2019

Magical! Natura Obscura, an immersive art experience now open at The Museum of Outdoor Arts (in their indoor gallery space), offers visitors the chance to leave the everyday world behind and explore a surrealist forest that combines art, sculpture, and digital technologies. The captivating, transportive and relaxing environment engages all 5 senses, even smell (a scentscape is created using essential oils) and touch (visitors may touch things gently). The project was brought to life by  Continue Reading

Orchid Showcase

January 12, 2019

When it’s cold and snowy where do we escape to? The Orangery at Denver Botanic Gardens! The annual Orchid Showcase is happening now through 2/17 (included with admission), so we like to take in the flowers and then sit on a bench with a book (or laptop if deadlines demand it) for a mini getaway. Don’t forget to smell the blooming citrus too! When: Jan. 10 – Feb. 17, 2019, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Where: Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York Street, Denver, CO 80206 Tickets: Includ  Continue Reading

Coyote. Badger. Rattlesnake.

January 12, 2019

Had enough holiday-themed entertainment? The creative folks at Buntport invite you to come spend 90 minutes (give or take) exploring fake realness and real fakeness at their latest show, “Coyote. Badger. Rattlesnake.” The absurdist play takes place in a museum diorama as Carol and Glenn restore a Plains scene following an infestation that destroyed the previous diorama. The show has its laughs, its usual Buntport quirkiness, but ultimately left me wanting a clearer final message or more sig  Continue Reading

Mindbender Mansion

January 12, 2019

Mindbender Mansion at Denver Museum of Nature and Science is SO MUCH FUN! There are puzzles and games of all varieties from 4-person pinball, to crazy cafeteria trays on a conveyor belt (we couldn’t stop playing this game until we had passed all three speed levels!), to classic brain teasers like number puzzles and knots to untie. People of all ages and abilities will find something to do in this exhibit that features dozens of different stations. Don’t miss your chance to play! Mindbender Mans  Continue Reading

A Christmas Carol

December 5, 2018

Is it going too far to say my year wouldn’t feel complete without seeing “A Christmas Carol” at the Denver Center? I don’t think so. Our family looks forward to this production each year, and every year, I find new meaning in this classic tale. Poignant, thought-provoking and joyous, the Denver Center production balances the darkness of the story with a Scrooge who is frequently humorous even when faced with the profound teachings of the ghosts who visit him. The music, singing, dancing and radia  Continue Reading

Blossoms of Light

December 5, 2018

What is it about lights on a chilly night?! There’s such wondrous magic to wandering through a landscape of lights on a winter evening. Blossoms of Light Denver Botanic Gardens is a favorite family tradition for us. The event changes a bit each year, so there’s something new to see even if you’ve been before. Evenings often sell out, so buying tickets ahead of time is a good idea. Share an experience and make some memories! Runs nightly (yes, Xmas Eve, Xmas and NYE too) 5p-9p now through January  Continue Reading

Tara Donovan: Fieldwork

December 5, 2018

Artist Tara Donovan explores materials in a myriad of ways and the results are completely fascinating and engrossing. Her exhibition has taken over MCA Denver and includes works incorporating slinkies, plastic index cards, straws, tar paper, folded Mylar and more. On view until Sunday, January 27th. See it!  Continue Reading

The Constant Wife

October 25, 2018

Snappy and charming, "The Constant Wife," now playing at Denver Center, is a delightful evening of theater that will leave you wishing there was a sequel so you could continue to follow the adventures of the ever-so-savvy lead character, Constance. Set in 1920s London, the play is a fine example of a comedy of manners, a satire designed to critique societal norms, and draws the audience in with quick dialogue and amusing plots twists. If you love 1940s movies with well-crafted dialogue and  Continue Reading
