Denver Arts Events September 29-October 5, 2025

A 50th anniversary performance of a campy cult classic, a powerful world premiere, and 15 hours of live local music are just a few treats that Denver’s arts calendar has in store for us this week. If I could enjoy five performances, concerts, or exhibitions this week, this is what I’d do. Enjoy.
