City-Backed Theater Evicted, Casa Bonita Performers Allege Sexual Harassment, and LeBron to the Nuggets?
Since voting to unionize back in November of 2024, Casa Bonita performers have gone to the table 14 times to negotiate wages, security issues, and workplace safety protocols, but have yet to reach a compromise with CB’s billionaire owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Pink Palace actor, union member, and City Cast Denver regular Joshua Emerson sits down with host Bree Davies to take us inside the ongoing labor fight. Then, they discuss the lawsuit and pending eviction of the Denver Immersive Repertory Theater, and Joshua shares a special top five list involving LeBron James, Taco Tuesday, and the Denver Nuggets!
For more on the labor situation at Casa Bonita, you can see for yourself the 10 recorded unfair labor practice complaints with the National Labor Relations Board and the one recorded OSHA complaint. Casa Bonita also responded to our interview request for Parker and Stone with the following statement:
“At Casa Bonita, we value all of our team members and their well-being. As a policy we do not comment on ongoing labor negotiations.”
