Catamounts unveils four-show immersive theater season across Front Range venues
The Catamounts has unveiled an ambitious slate for its 15th season, featuring four productions that showcase the company’s signature immersive theater approach across unique venues throughout the Colorado Front Range.
“We just got back from the moon. It was touch and go there for a minute, but we’re on earth again, and ready to insert all the luna-cy we learned into our 15th Season!” the company announced on its website.
The season opens October 23 with A Town Called Harris at the historic DeSpain School House in Westminster. The original work, conceived by Jessica Austgen, Amanda Berg Wilson and Adeline Mann and written by Austgen, tells the story of Westminster’s name change from Harris through the lens of a junior historical society production gone awry.
“The Westminster Junior Historical Society invites you to their production of A Town Called Harris, a retelling of the moment in history when their town changed its name from Harris to Westminster,” the company explains. When the power goes out during the show-within-a-show, mysterious happenings threaten to reveal darker stories of the historic venue. The production, directed by Mann, runs through November 15.
The season continues with Burning Bluebeard by Jay Torrence, running January 31 through February 21, 2026, at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder. Directed by Wilson, the play retells the 1903 Chicago Iroquois Theatre fire from the performers’ perspective, mixing comedy, vaudeville and clowning with the company’s immersive staging approach.
Newcity Stage called the original Chicago production “a poetic, terrifying, gut-buster tour de force” that represents “the cumulative potential of theater as an art form.”
May brings an ambitious collaboration with renowned Boulder dance company 3rdLaw Dance/Theater for Uncontainable, staged in eight shipping containers in the old Macy’s parking garage at the 29th Street Mall in Boulder. The immersive dance/theater exploration runs May 28 through June 15, 2026.
The season concludes with FEED: Celestial, running August 14-16, 2026, at the StarHouse in Boulder’s Sunshine Canyon. The production, timed to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower, will explore “how can we find answers to questions here on earth in something as seemingly distant as the stars?” across four courses on the 70-acre campus.
Season subscriptions, dubbed “Fat Cat” memberships, are available through the company’s website. The Catamounts specializes in immersive theater experiences that integrate audiences with performers in unconventional spaces throughout Colorado.
