Event Link

A stranger is waiting to meet you. They’re wandering around a museum, or serving you at a restaurant, or waiting for the bus. Instead of letting them pass through your periphery like so many others, this is your chance to connect. To have a conversation. To discover the secrets that each of us keep and the humanity we forget to recognize.

Between Us is a set of three truly unique one-on-one experiences with just you and an actor, created by some of the country’s leading immersive theatre artists. Head to a downtown Denver destination to share each other’s company and connect in a very real way. Over the course of an hour, you’ll inspire the twists and turns your encounter will take, and by the simple act of being yourself, your rendezvous will be unlike any other. Don’t miss the once-in-a-lifetime chance to look a story in the face and become a part of it yourself.

The Deck of Cards (Christopher Gabriel Núñez and Jenny Koons): Be it by fate or chance, the path of your journey lies in a shuffle. As you have your cards interpreted by a guide, you’ll open your eyes to the ways your path has led you to this moment and the events where a single choice could change your future. Bring a small token from your life that you would like to pass on to another audience member at the end of the experience.

The Whiskey Tasting (David Jacobi and Amanda Berg Wilson): You and a friend sit down for a whiskey tasting to explore the history and nuanced varieties of this spirit. But as your bartender begins to divulge details about their own life, you’ll be inspired to toast to the moments that brought you to where you are today. This experience is for two audience members to share at the same time. Whiskey flight (four tastings) included.

The Blind Date (Lauren Ludwig and Monica Miklas): You’ve been set up on a blind date to wander through the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Skip the small talk and dive into the big questions of creation, destruction, and the way we expose our true selves through the strange ritual of dating. Museum admission included.

Contact Level: None to Light (Business/Acquaintance)

Content Advisories: Content may include adult language.

These three experiences are highly immersive, participatory and as unique as you are. Since you are at the center of each story, no two experiences will be alike. You and the actor will get personal as you spend your time together.

The three experiences each require a different amount of activity, yet we encourage you to travel light and wear comfortable shoes and clothes for all of them. During The Blind Date, participants will explore the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver for most of the experience. The Deck of Cards will require some moving but will mostly be seated. The Whiskey Tasting is primarily seated.

All three experiences are wheelchair accessible. Assistive listening devices, American Sign Language services and Audio Description services are available by request. To request these or other ADA services, please email accessibility@dcpa.org at least 14 days before your performance.
