The Last Night of Red Barker

Can you ever escape your past?

The Last Night of Red Barker Immersive Event - Main Image

THE LAST NIGHT OF RED BARKER sets the audience on a journey that asks if the ghosts from our past can ever be escaped, and if redemption is ever within reach. It is 1949 at Denargo's Tavern in Colorado, where Lloyd "Red" Barker will sling you a drink as he attempts to live a quieter life than the one he has fled. The son of "Ma Barker"--yes, that one--he is hoping Colorado will provide an escape from the infamy of the Barker Boys, his family's criminal gang. But the past always has a way of catching up. Journey with Lloyd as he is visited by the ghosts of his past on the last night of his life. Tickets include drinks at Denargo's (bring your ID if you'd like the harder stuff) and a traveling immersive journey provided to a maximum of 20 audience members at a time. In the spirit of the Halloween season, we invite you to step back into the past dressed in your 1940's best, should the spirit move you. Minimal walking required, and seating provided throughout. If you have questions about accessibility, please do not hesitate to reach out.
