The Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ 38th annual Saturday Night Alive party netted a record $1.15 million on March 3. The fundraiser is a benefit for the DCPA’s extensive theatre education programs, which serve more than 106,000 students of all ages each year.
With that evening’s performance of Hamilton included as part of Saturday Night Alive, the evening sold out in record time — just one week. While more than 800 guests enjoyed the full evening, another 200 joined the festivities at the show and after-party. The emcee was of CBS Denver.
DCPA President and CEO Janice Sinden described the evening as breathtaking.
“At the DCPA, we believe that the arts are a fundamental part of a well-rounded education,” she said. “Being able to celebrate that with Hamilton, a show that is equally passionate about arts education, is an exciting opportunity for our Saturday Night Alive donors.”

In addition to seeing Broadway’s biggest blockbuster, guests enjoyed a luxury silent auction, dinner by Epicurean Group, and post-show desserts and dancing to music by the Wash Park Funk Band.
Saturday Night Alive has now raised an estimated $29 million and has helped the DCPA provide theatre programs to more than 2 million students.
