Most Denver-area Halloween attractions are one walkthrough repeated nightly. This one is staged theater with a run, which means the cast performs it nine nights straight at Aurora's city-owned arts building and it changes as the run settles.
Dancing In The Dark: The House of Omens occupies The People's Building from October 23 through Halloween night. The venue is a black-box-scale room on East Colfax in Aurora, so the audience sits close to the work in a way a warehouse maze never allows.
