It’s a premier place to see theatre in Downtown Denver, with shows happening year-round.

It all started with Donald Seawell who first dreamt of building a first-class arts complex. Today, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is one of the most recognized companies in the country when it comes to theatre.

Groundbreaking of the complex started in December 1974. Four years later in 1978, the Boettcher Concert Hall was completed. In 1979, the Auditorium Theatre was revamped and Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex was opened. The Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre was added in 1991 and then the Seawell Grand Ballroom and Conservatory Theatre were opened in 1998 and 2002, respectively.

The Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex is managed by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Inside the complex are The Stage Theatre (778 seats), the Space Theatre (450 seats), Ricketson Theatre (250 seats), Jones Theatre (200 seats), and the pentagon-shaped Seawell Grand Ballroom that has a fantastic view of the mountains.
