Denver theatre company features Colorado community with all local cast and crew

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts Theatre Company stands out in Denver's vibrant arts scene by emphasizing community involvement, featuring all local talent in its productions. Artistic Director Chris Coleman highlighted the company’s dedication to Colorado, stating, "For 44 years, we have built work here in the state of Colorado with artisans who live in this region," reinforcing their commitment to creating locally crafted performances.

Coleman expressed the joy of being able to bring high-quality theatrical experiences to the region, describing it as a "glorious adventure." The company offers audiences behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creative processes, showcasing how sets, costumes, and even wigs are handcrafted nearby.

Priding itself on originality, the theatre company has become a launching pad for numerous successful productions that have later toured nationally. Coleman acknowledged the excitement among local audiences when they witness local shows achieving broader success, enhancing community pride.

With many productions starting in intimate venues that accommodate just over 100 people, the theatre company excels at narrating grand stories within close quarters. Coleman noted, "The variety of those experiences, from super intimate to blockbusters, is part of what is fun about being here."
