• A Grander Opening

ABOUT OUR RENOVATION

Since 1979, our DCPA Theatre Company has engaged and inspired local audiences with joyful comedies, heartfelt dramas, and never-before-seen world premieres. But our 40-year-old facilities are aging, which limits the company’s creative potential and no longer meets the accessibility or safety standards that we want to provide to our community.

Beginning in March 2016 and culminating in mid-2021, we embarked on the most ambitious project in our master plan. Renovation of the Bonfils Theatre Complex is a $54 million investment to reimagine a world-class home for magical theatre and memorable events. It will result in tremendous upgrades to the main entrance, lobby, technology, accessibility, backstage and support areas, and three theatres:

Thanks to 100% participation by our Board of Trustees plus $29M from the Build a Better and Elevate Denver bond funds, the DCPA is more than 92% of the way toward its $36M fundraising goal. But we need your help.

We have $3.5M left to complete The Grander Opening capital campaign. Help us complete our theatres today to ensure that we are ready for opening night of our 2021/22 season!
