Fun things to do in Denver this Valentine's Day weekend
" Mortified," an experimental theater program, podcast and Prime Video series, is bringing its signature mix of comedy and cringe-worthy confessionals to Denver with a special love-themed edition. Why it matters: The two-show event, dubbed " Doomed Valentine's," is perfect for a fun date night — or anyone looking to laugh off their last relationship. What to expect: Brave adults dig through their teenage vaults to share their most awkward and angsty journal entries, poems, letters and lyrics in front of an audience of total strangers.
