    Denver wants to know how failed immersive theater spent $400,000

    Denver is investigating how the failed Denver Immersive Repertory Theater spent a $400,000 loan from taxpayers. The theater missed rent payments despite receiving funds for that purpose and has terminated its lease, prompting the city to seek an accounting of the loan. The project, intended to transform a downtown building into an immersive theater, was evicted and never opened.

    Tax-funded immersive theater faces eviction in downtown Denver before it even opens

    The Denver Immersive Repertory Theater (DIRT) faces eviction before opening due to unpaid rent and a construction-related lawsuit. The project, which received a $400,000 city loan, owes over $51,000 in rent and has construction at 65% completion. Owners Steve Wargo and Blair Russell had planned to open a 10,000-square-foot immersive theater in March 2026.
