  • This Wednesday in Denver: “Bars”

    This Wednesday in Denver: “Bars”

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

    Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see that our troubles are all the same. You wanna go where people know that people are all the same. You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

    We get it. That’s why this month’s theme is “Bars.” Turn off those gymnastics reruns, grab a Hershey’s with Almonds, and get yourself to Buntport to hear true stories from this incredible lineup of storytellers:

    …and your host, Ron Doyle, probably eating a Klondike.

    The show is as free as the feeling when you hang upside-down by your knees on the monkey bars. Beer from Renegade Brewing Company and cheap wine available by donation.

    See you there!
