Plus, a chat with Jenn Zuko at Blue Dime Cabaret and our weekly Colorado Headliners

In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca get immersed in the immersive theater scene in the state. Touching on two Westword stories Toni wrote this week, we get into what makes an immersive production immersive, the companies creating it in the state and what the future looks like for this growing art form.

Later in the episode, Toni catches up with Jenn Zuko from Blue Dime Cabaret. The popup cabaret was performing at DV8 in Boulder, but with the venue recently closing they’ll be at Liquor Pie in Westminster in the coming months., Blue Dime Cabaret serves up a mix of burlesque, vaudeville, comedy and more.
