A GRANDER OPENING
Join the campaign to reimagine the Stage and Ricketson theatres for the next century
Renderings of improvements to lobby and theatres
Giving audiences and artists more to love
With your help, A Grander Opening will elevate the future of theatre while creating more welcoming, inspiring spaces for our audiences and community. Renovations of our Stage and Ricketson theatres, backstage areas, lobbies and seating areas will give both creators and spectators more to love about Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
Together, we will:
- Substantially renovate theatres and backstage support areas to reflect modern theatrical practices, including dressing rooms, green rooms, wardrobe room, etc.
- Update layout of seating and install new seats in The Stage Theatre and Ricketson Theatre to improve sightlines, exceed accessibility standards and create a more intimate, comfortable experience.
- Reconfigure the Bonfils Theatre Complex lobby for consolidated indoor access to the three major theatres, including a new mid-level entrance to The Ricketson Theatre.
- Create a new lobby experience for Ricketson Theatre guests.
- Upgrade accessibility options for guests and artists, including new elevator access, assistive listening systems, better audio description and backstage accommodations.
- Increase energy efficiency of lighting and mechanical systems; update fire detection and suppression systems to prioritize safety.
