- 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.
