Buntport Theater

Very cool small business theatre that has been operating for a very long time. I like the scrappy nature of the plays/actors/set design. Highly recommended!

I hesitate to write this review for fear that I can't get tickets to future shows. Alas, they deserve it and much more. This theater group is truly one of the greatest hidden treasures in Denver. They are brilliantly smart, wickedly funny artists of the highest degree and charge but a pittance for their humble offerings. I truly cannot lavish enough praise on this institution that I am delighted and proud to have in our hometown. If you have not seen one of their performances, you will be tickled silly to discover the Buntport. If you have, then your already a regular.

Buntport has been my favorite place to catch a performance for nearly 20 years and I doubt that will ever change. They always have original material, dynamic acting, and affordable tickets. I highly recommend checking them out.

As a long time storyteller… I went to see “the narrators” at the Buntport ….
curious as to why their website was so vague as to what qualifies someone to tell the story on their stage.

I quickly realized that everybody was “6° of separation“ from the host that evening
Apparently there was no other criteria.

While the first guy was absolutely fantastic(September 17).

…All the other storytellers apparently did not understand the definition of a story and used their stage time for somewhat of either a therapy session or a rant.
One guy’s story went on so long I don’t even think he told it to himself once…before stepping on that stage.
He couldn’t even find an ending.
so of course it took him a long long time to end what could have been said in 5 sentences

That is too bad.
Would love to support indie storytelling venues besides the moth… But this poor excuse for story curation is even less reliable than the Moth pulling names out of a hat.

That said I have been to the Buntport before.
It is a clean beautiful inside space with excellent sound.
This was just one particular event that was underwhelming at best.
On the flip side, the organization of the event was excellent!

Support the Buntport…it is a fantastic long-standing venue. So happy for the variety of theater it offers…even this friends-of-the-host “story” telling .

I had a feeling I would love this place and it did not disappoint. Went to the Buntport Debate night. A really fun time! They have water, beer, (and snacks I think.) The space is simple but it's really what you make it and this has a really nice fun independent vibe with a lot of crowd interaction.

I hope they bring more magic shows like the one with my pals Evan and Nate. The theater is amazing and I’m confident you’ll love any show you see there.

Some things just need to be experienced. That's the case with the Buntport Theater. The most recent production I attended, Best Town, was waaaay too strange and trippy to describe and do it any justice. It was also great (if befuddling) fun. The actors really inhabit their characters, and the writing is as clever and imaginative as it is peculiar -- which is saying a lot. The tech in this show was amazing. I'd say, "amazing especially for a small theater" but that would be selling it short. This really felt like the kind of idiosyncratic show you might see in an off-off-Broadway theater. Very quirky and not for someone expecting Eugene O'Neill or Arthur Miller. This is more Northern Exposure meets Welcome to Night Vale if it had been directed by David Lynch.

I don't know if you can go into a show here knowing what to expect, except to expect something brilliantly twisted.

The Buntport is truly the best. Check out The Narrators every third Wednesday. Every play has been a memorable experience. I never know what to expect, but I always love what they come up with. Work them into your date nights. It’s a great time to support your local theatre!
