About this episode
World-renowned art-rock icon David Byrne is not from Denver. So we were as surprised as anyone when he announced that his mysterious new project, an immersive theater experience rooted in neuroscience, would premiere in the Mile High. “ Theater of the Mind ” has been showing for a few weeks now, and our producers Paul Karolyi (a theater neophyte) and Lizzie Goldsmith (a huge theater lover) have both taken part. So today, host Bree Davies sits down with Paul and Lizzie to talk about their experiences, how the show fits into Byrne’s career arc, and what this high-profile premiere says about the state of immersive theater in Denver right now. For another take on Theater of the Mind, Bree mentioned our pal John Wenzel’s review in the Denver Post. For more of Lizzie’s enthusiastic take on the local theater scene, check out her recent coverage for Westword!
