    This Wednesday in Denver: “Jinx”

    BUNTPORT THEATER, DENVER, 19 April 2017 at 8:00PM:

    This month’s theme is “Jinx.” We’ve got our rally caps on and we haven’t changed our underwear. We’re stroking a horseshoe with a rabbit’s foot and haven’t stepped on a crack in weeks. No black cats, no $2 bills, and no broken mirrors—so you know this month is going to be good. Here’s our spell-binding lineup:

    Robert Barron
    Angela Daniels
    Sean Michael Cummings
    Hannah Duggan
    Paul Marrick
    Hannah Skewes

    …and your host, Erin Rollman, referencing the number 13 at least 13 times.

    The show is as free as a pinch, poke, and Coke after saying the same thing as your friend at the same time. Swanky Renegade beer and not-swanky wine available by donation.

    See you there!
