In 1967, the city of Denver voted into law the Urban Skyline Renewal Project. The city chose the Auraria neighborhood as the site of a new college campus for Metropolitan State College of Denver (Metropolitan State University), Community College of Denver, and eventually the University of Colorado at Denver. The thriving neighborhood was home to the largest community of Hispano and Mexican Americans in Denver. The occupants and business owners fought to maintain their homes, community, and church. Despite their appeals, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority aggressively began to displace all of the Auraria occupants by 1973. Join Gregorio Ramon Alcaro, Founder and Executive Director of Auraria and Casa Mayan Heritage and Lucha Martinez de Luna, Associate Curator of Hispano, Chicano, Latino History and Culture at History Colorado for a discussion after the digital screening of the documentary Casa Mayan.

YESTERDAY/TODAY: A Beatles Multiverse Romcom
YESTERDAY/TODAY: A GAY MULTIVERSE ROMCOM ABOUT THE BEATLES
Robert is a writer. Or, well, he wants to be. He’s only ever had one goodidea… but before he could write it, someone else did.
The concept: a sci-fi comedy about a parallel universe where The Beatlesdon’t exist.
The thief: Richard Curtis (Love, Actually), with his 2019 film “Yesterday.”
What Robert doesn’t know is that he is in for a universe-hopping adventure ofhis own…
With a supernatural second chance to write the script that was “stolen” fromhim, will he make something of his trust-fund do-nothing life? Will hisboyfriend, Dev, be the same across the multiverse? Will saucy new flingsarise as the universe twists and turns the relationships in Robert’s life?
This fast-paced farce pokes fun at pipedreams, procrastinations, and thephoniness inside us all.

The Story
It had been said that the River North Media Building was haunted, but you brushed it off as superstition. However, recent supernatural activity has terrorized the tenants. The Haunting is Real. To help investigate and perhaps eliminate the ghostly disturbances, paranormal investigators Anthem and Aria have been called in. Hopefully they can supply answers and solutions. However, when things go wrong, the investigation turns dangerous. Everyone must work together to put the dark spirit to rest with a seance. Who are The Psychic Soulmates Connected by their mutual love of the supernatural, Anthem and Aria tour internationally spreading macabre mystery and a message of cosmic connection. Working as equal partners they read minds, summon spirits, and touch hearts at colleges, on cruises, and in world class theaters. You’ve seen them in Las Vegas showrooms and on Hulu and America’s Got Talent. Awarded Mentalist Of The Year, Best Variety Show, and the Lance Burton Award Of Excellence, you can expect a chilling and stunning night of ghostly illusions. The All American Haunting may involve pitch darkness, loud noises and bangs, blood, flashing lights, sensitive topics surrounding death, and unexpected spirit phenomena. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
