Studio Tour
Discover the people and processes that bring theatre to life
It takes the time and talent of costume designers, set builders, propmakers and technical specialists to transform a show from an idea to a living piece of art. See for yourself during our expertly guided 90-minute tours.
In addition to an overview of the Complex and the venues, the Studio Tour will give guests an insider’s look at everything from set model miniatures and costumes-in-progress to up-close set pieces and props galore in the production shops of the DCPA.
The Studio Tour takes place on Saturdays at 10am
Tickets are $12 per person and must be reserved online in advance.
Guests will meet their tour ambassador in the lobby of the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex, located within the Arts Complex at Speer & Arapahoe (see map)
