CREATING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
As we reflect on the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ (DCPA) 2024/25 season, we are proud to share progress toward a sustainable future — one that ensures our mission endures.
This report marks the second year of our five-year strategic plan, a roadmap designed to guide our longterm resilience. In it, we’ve focused on six strategic goals. From expanding engagement across the region to modernizing our technology and deepening our artistic collaborations, we are laying the foundation for a vibrant, inclusive future.
Our 2024/25 season saw a 9% increase in total engagements with 988,930 guest experiences toward our 1 million goal. The season was filled with high points including the national touring premiere of KIMBERLY AKIMBO, an unprecedented three-city co-production of The Reservoir by first-time playwright Jake Brasch, the sold-out run of Little Shop of Horrors, and the U.S. premiere of MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition. Also, we enjoyed an extended run of Elephant and Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!”, a refreshed and improved Seawell Ballroom, and community partnerships throughout the seven-county metro area and beyond.
We are deeply mindful of the responsibility we hold around our sustainability efforts in the areas of workforce, finance, venues, and the environment. These pillars are essential to our long-term health and reflect our commitment to thoughtful stewardship. In FY25, we implemented new workforce policies, expanded employee wellness programs, and launched our HR Advisory Council to support and empower our team.

Hassan Salem FY25 Board Chair
Financially, we implemented long-term cost-saving measures and enhanced revenue strategies to ensure the continuity of our mission and minimize disruption to staff and programming.
Our venues continue evolving through capital planning, energy initiatives, and partnerships. We completed a strategic energy management program that resulted in significant savings and secured external investment for future improvements. Environmentally, we conducted waste audits, explored multi-stream solutions, and integrated new sustainable production practices.
These efforts are not just operational — they are deeply connected to our artistic and educational work.
And we honored the legacy of former Chair & CEO Daniel L. Ritchie, whose leadership continues to shape our values.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on adaptability, innovation, and collaboration. The challenges facing the American theatre are real, but so is our resolve. With the support of our patrons, donors, civic leaders, and staff, we are confident in our ability to build an artistically bold, financially sound, community-centered vision.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are creating a sustainable future — one that honors our past, embraces the present, and boldly imagines what’s next.

IN MEMORY
Daniel L. Ritchie (1932-2025) joined the DCPA Board of Trustees in 2005 and became the second Chairman & CEO of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts from 2007 to 2016. Under his leadership, the DCPA expanded its theatre and education programs with the launch of Off-Center, the Bobby G High School Musical Theatre Awards, and the Middle & High School Playwriting Competition. Dan’s personal contributions included supporting the DPS Shakespeare Festival, world premieres of The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Sense & Sensibility: The Musical, and the seed funding for two DCPA Challenge Grants that collectively raised $1.5 million. Dan inspired us to dream big, be bold, aim high, and pay it forward. He will be greatly missed.
ENGAGEMENTS OVERVIEW
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Create 1 million engagements annually
With a bold goal to offer one million engagements annually by its 50th anniversary in 2028/29, the DCPA made remarkable strides in the 2024/25 season. Across its six programming lines — Broadway, Cabaret, Theatre Company, Off-Center, Education & Community Engagement, and Event Services — the organization offered nearly 989,000 engagements, sharing the magic of live performances throughout the region.
But numbers alone don’t tell the full story. At the heart of this momentum is a commitment to meaningful, relevant programming — a key focus of the DCPA’s strategic plan. Through a comprehensive programming review, the organization analyzed gaps and balanced ambition against capacity to inform future programming decisions. In FY25, this vision came to life through 50 ticketed events, hundreds of classes, and a wide array of special events that invited people of all ages and backgrounds to connect through the arts.
The season resonated throughout the community. Full-price ticket sales for both Broadway and Theatre Company not only surpassed the previous season but also pre-pandemic levels — a testament to the community’s renewed enthusiasm for live theatre. Collectively, full-price ticket sales for these divisions were up 27% over FY24 and 6% over FY19. Group Sales also saw growth across Broadway, Theatre Company, and Off-Center, signaling a strong return to attending cultural events.
DCPA’s original works continued to shine on the national stage. Off-Center’s Camp Christmas delighted patrons at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, while the Theatre Company’s co-production of The Reservoir reached new audiences at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre and L.A.’s Geffen Playhouse.
As the 46th season came to a close, the DCPA celebrated nearly 31 million engagements since opening in 1979. Among these were more than 1 million Student Matinee tickets, 1 million participants in in-school performances, and over 50,000 total performances. These milestones highlight not only a rich legacy, but also a continually deepening connection with communities across the region.
Looking ahead to its 50th anniversary, the DCPA stands on a strong foundation of artistic excellence, national recognition, and community trust. With every performance, class, and event, we continue to ensure that the transformative power of live theatre is accessible, inclusive, and resonates — in Denver and beyond.

ENGAGEMENTS BROADWAY
Presenting national touring productions from Broadway and beyond on Denver stages
In pursuit of 1 million engagements annually by 2028/29, DCPA Broadway worked to broaden its reach through expanded access. More shows were selected to participate in the DCPAccess low-cost ticket program, leading to a 53% increase in affordable Broadway admissions. This helped the programming line boost its total engagements by a notable 20% over the previous season and surpass its pre-pandemic level for the first time since FY19.
The season kicked off with the national touring premiere of KIMBERLY AKIMBO, a show about a teenage girl whose rare aging disorder seems less complicated than her dysfunctional family. Filled with humor and poignancy, this five-time 2023 Tony Award winner for Best Musical left audiences buoyant and ready for the season ahead. As a special treat, creators David Lindsay-Abaire (book and lyrics) and Jeanine Tesori (score) participated in a Master Class with 65 of the DCPA’s adult education students — creating a rare and memorable moment of connection.
To expand its programming and appeal to new audiences, the DCPA presented a sold-out, one-nightonly engagement of Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert...twice. The show — which featured projections of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon accompanied by a live orchestra — became the quickest return engagement in Denver Center history when it came back a mere two months later, thanks to its overwhelming appeal.
While audiences clamored to see returning favorites such as Hamilton, THE BOOK OF MORMON, Disney’s Frozen, and MAMMA MIA!, newer shows and reprisals also appealed to large crowds.
& Juliet posed a “what if” scenario that had a verymuch-alive heroine rewriting her own fate. Back to the Future: The Musical had patrons traveling back in time to relive the fabulous 50s and the rockin’ 80s in a high flyin’ time-machine-in-a-car. The Life of Pi brought the novelturned-film to the stage in a powerful production that brought animals to life through puppetry, while THE WIZ had crowds easin’ on down a yellow brick road in a joyful celebration of culture and community.
But it wasn’t showtime all the time. In fact, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House was used for a major overhaul of one of Broadway’s favorite musicals. Wicked took time before its Denver engagement to fully revamp its lighting package, making it more modern, sustainable, and ready to shine for future generations of theatergoers.
Touring premieres, expanded options, and fresh shows direct from Broadway made this year one for the record books, thanks to the incredible patronage of Colorado fans.

ENGAGEMENTS CABARET
Entertaining audiences with comedy, improv, musicals, and more
For audiences looking for a light-hearted night on the town, the Garner Galleria Theatre is a beloved gem that never disappoints. This cozy 183-seat cabaretstyle theatre invites audiences to enjoy a vibrant mix of presented works and original productions — all paired with a welcoming pre-show bar and table service.
After celebrating its 100th milestone production in FY24, DCPA Cabaret continued to delight audiences with a lineup that blended nostalgia, star power, and local creativity. Highlights included the ever-popular Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End, a laugh-filled evening with “Saturday Night Live” alum Tim Meadows and his Bluebird Improv troupe, fresh takes on fan favorites
with Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song and The Second City: Comedian Rhapsody, and the locally produced Gutenberg! The Musical — a hilarious “show within a show” wherein two hopeful producers pitch their quirky musical about an unlikely hero — the inventor of the printing press.
In keeping with DCPA’s commitment to broaden access, all five Cabaret productions offered low-cost tickets through the DCPAccess program — resulting in a remarkable 55% increase in participation over the previous year. This growth reflects the power of laughter and live performance to bring people together and welcome new faces into the theatre community.

ENGAGEMENTS OFF-CENTER
Creating unexpected theatrical experiences that place the audience at the center of the story
Over its 14-year history, Off-Center has tested experiences from intimate to grand. As interest in largescale projects grew, so too did its audience. In FY25, ticket sales for five diverse projects — from gamification to community-centric to otherworldly — rose 306% from pre-pandemic levels.
To develop a pipeline of immersive experiences, OffCenter sent its popular Camp Christmas to Dallas while introducing four international projects to Denver.
First came Darkfield, a collaboration with UK-based Realscape Productions, which offered three distinct allauditory experiences in separate shipping containers. The descriptive names — FLIGHT, SÉANCE + COMA —
were unlike anything local audiences had experienced before. Next was the U.S. premiere of MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition wherein teams competed to buy real estate on a life-size game board.
The season culminated with Off-Center’s most heartfelt project — An Auraria Parable, created in partnership with the Auraria Campus. The creative team gathered stories from individuals whose families and community centers were displaced to make way for the current campus.
Through bold innovation and deep community ties, Off-Center helped position Denver as a national hub for immersive experiences — drawing global collaborations and sharing local stories far and wide.

ENGAGEMENTS DENVER CENTER THEATRE COMPANY
Bringing handcrafted classics, world premieres, and modern masterpieces to life on
stage
The artistry of the Denver Center Theatre Company was on full display in FY25 with a lineup of classics, world premieres, and a sensational comedy — cementing one of the most successful seasons in recent memory.
The season opened with a trio of productions: Avaaz, a moving play written by and starring Michael Shayan who portrays his mother’s immigration story from Iran; a coming-of-age story about a young Latina who is anything but perfect in I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, and a powerful take on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, directed by Artistic Director Chris Coleman.
The winter welcomed the world premieres of Sandy Rustin’s whodunit comedy, The Suffragette’s Murder, and Jake Brasch’s, The Reservoir, about a young man who returns from college to deal with addiction only to find that his grandparents are suffering cognitive decline. The Reservoir was presented as a three-city co-production with Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre and LA’s Geffen Playhouse. It has since been selected for another co-production by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Atlantic Theatre Company, and Ensemble Studio Theatre that will play OffBroadway in the coming season.
The Company rounded out the season with the perennial favorite, A Christmas Carol; the Pulitzer Prizewinning The Hot Wing King, and a sold-out crowd pleaser, Little Shop of Horrors
In addition to its mainstage productions, the Theatre Company hosted its national peers at the League of Regional Theatres Conference, participated in a workshop of its forthcoming world premiere of Cowboys and East Indians at Theatre Squared in Fayetteville, Ark., and produced the annual Colorado New Play Summit. This new play festival showcased readings of four new works, inviting the audience to serve as a sounding board, which is integral to the development process. The featured scripts were bogfriends by jose sebastian alberdi, How to Conquer America: A Mostly True History of Yogurt by David Myers, If God Were Blue by Carey Perloff, and Rust on Bone by Bianca Sams
FY25 was a standout season for the Denver Center Theatre Company, marked by artistic excellence, sold-out shows, and powerful new voices. With bold premieres, reimagined classics, and community-driven storytelling, the Company reaffirmed its place at the heart of American theatre.
OF NOTE
Playwright Jake Brasch (The Reservoir) won the Kennedy Center’s 2024 Paula Vogel Playwriting Award and was the inaugural recipient of the 2024 Terrence McNally Recovery Commissions.

ENGAGEMENTS SPECIAL EVENTS
Producing awe-inspiring events in dramatic venues
The DCPA-managed event spaces continued to be among the most sought-after rental venues in the city. Whether a guest at the Center’s annual Saturday Night Alive gala or an external client event, the Atrium, Directors Room, Seawell Ballroom, and various theatres and studio spaces continued to attract standing-roomonly crowds.
However, the Seawell had to take a four-month intermission for an extensive renovation led by Venue Operations. In support of the DCPA’s goal to maximize the use of its spaces and sustain its venues, the nearly 30-year-old space needed a refresh. To provide a welcoming experience and exceed client expectations, new carpet was installed, the freight and passenger elevators were modernized, and the one-way escalator was replaced with a bi-directional version. The results were well worth the wait.
Clients clamored to rent the space, with the fiscal year culminating in a two-day buyout of the entire Bonfils Theatre Complex, which helped the team close its year 126% to budget despite the interruption in service.
This success was due, in part, to the collaboration between the DCPA’s Event Services and Development teams, the latter of which was responsible for raising $700,000 through its annual fundraisers and galas. In FY25, the department hosted receptions, luncheons, and dinners for its premium membership groups — Best of Broadway Society, Directors Society, Encore Society, and Corporate Club.
Additionally, it held its wildly popular Hattitude luncheon to benefit the Women’s Voices Fund and the 44th annual Saturday Night Alive, to benefit theatre and education programs. In recognition of these extraordinary events, the Development and Event Services teams were awarded the Icon Award for Best Fundraising Gala for Saturday Night Alive by Colorado Event Alliance.
With revitalized spaces and award-winning events, the DCPA’s Event Services and Development teams elevated the guest experience and reinforced the DCPA’s role as a premier destination for unforgettable cultural and philanthropic gatherings.

Community events utilized DCPA Education’s classrooms, studios, and theatre in the Newman Center for Theatre Education for rehearsals, receptions, and private events with a total value of $4,348,000 in partial or full space donations. Plus, Phamaly Theatre Company returned to the Kilstrom Theatre for its annual summer production, which featured A Chorus Line.
EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Nurturing a love of theatre through programs, classes, and community connections across the region
The DCPA remains committed to fostering the future of live theatre through its extensive educational programs. Starting as young as pre-school, the DCPA offers opportunities year-round that engage and inspire future generations.
In FY25, the DCPA produced Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” as its Theatre for Young Audiences selection. Pre-school through third grade students were introduced to live theatre for the first time in this delightful production of the childhood classic. It was so popular, performances were added to meet demand. Also for this age group, Book Stars offered early childhood literacy opportunities to more than 31,500 children by giving them the tools to act out their favorite storybooks.
Middle and high school students were in for a treat with the new Teen Broadway Master Class series, which invited youth to learn from performers traveling through
Denver. Plus, ThunderRidge High School experienced a double dose of fun when its production of Mean Girls: High School Edition won the 2024 Bobby G Outstanding Overall Production of Musical and when the school was selected to host a visit from the touring cast of the Broadway production. Other middle and high school programs included participation in the Colorado State Thespian Convention, Middle and High School Playwriting program, Career Readiness, and Shakespeare in the Parking Lot.
Programs for all ages also held broad appeal. Education’s Resiliency Program for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities expanded to serve two new organizations — A Brighter Community and Firefly Autism. Using theatre-based skills, the program fosters confidence, collaboration, and communication, which are the same skills students enrolled in seasonal acting classes gain. Additional multi-age programs include the annual Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival for Kindergarten through 12th grade, Dramatic Learning workshops to complement in-school curriculum, Student Matinees, tours, and pre- and post-show discussions.
Through these diverse and inclusive programs, the DCPA Education team continues to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and cultivate a lifelong love of theatre. By reaching students of all ages and abilities, the DCPA is shaping future artists and audiences — and strengthening the cultural fabric of the community, one story at a time.

ENGAGEMENTS
EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Fostering connections through collaboration, events, and participation
Each year the DCPA welcomes new audiences to its theatres, its classrooms, and its family. Whether extending a warm welcome, participating in area events, partnering with a new colleague, or providing pre- or post-show opportunities to enrich the patron experience, the DCPA works hard to foster community connections.
In FY25, the Community Engagement team held several low-cost opportunities including Community Dance Classes and Storytimes. Plus, team members throughout the DCPA also collaborated on the Denver Immersive Invitational and Culture House Immersive, spoke at the Shakespeare Authorship Conference, hosted monthly improv workshops for Urban Peak, and led activities for Colorado Business Committee for the Arts’ Leadership Arts program. Additionally, the Community Engagement team hosted JeffCo Fest including acting workshops and an evening showcase as well as a pre-show reception and discussion for the Asian Chamber of Commerce before members attended Life of Pi.
In an effort to connect with Latiné communities, Spanish language translation was provided for select performances of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter and select community performances of Shakespeare in the Parking Lot thanks to a partnership with Re:Vision.
The team represented the DCPA at area events including Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, Denver Days, Denver Firefighter Breakfast, and PRIDE. At the same
time, the DCPA collaborated with the Denver Botanic Gardens on a carnivorous plant display at Little Shop of Horrors, invited Mariachi Alma del Folklore to perform before I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, and arranged opportunities for the tokens from MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition to engage with the community in playful ways. The racecar token met with RTD and rode its new Arts Connector line while the dinosaur token met its larger-than-life counterpart at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Finally, teams across the organization arranged for a variety of free or low-cost ticket opportunities to broaden access. These included the free Broadway and Community Seats program, DCPAccess low-cost ticket program, and free invitations to dress rehearsals. With the addition of an increasing number of Broadway shows, these initiatives allowed the DCPA to distribute 12% more free or low-cost tickets than last season.
Through vibrant partnerships, inclusive programming, and community events, the DCPA deepened its commitment to engagement. By expanding access to the arts and celebrating cultural diversity, it reaffirms its role as both a cultural institution and a welcoming home for all.

SUSTAINABILITY
STRATEGIC GOAL:
To prioritize long-term sustainability to deliver our mission in four key areas: finance, workforce, facilities and venues, and the environment.
In FY25, the DCPA deepened its commitment to long-term sustainability by advancing strategic efforts across finance, workforce, facilities and venues, and environmental stewardship. These initiatives reflect a holistic approach to sustaining the organization’s mission, ensuring resilience in the face of industry-wide challenges while fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and responsible cultural institution.
FINANCE
As financial concerns continued to impact the American theatre, the DCPA was not immune. Executive Leadership implemented a balanced budget for the coming season that permanently reduced costs and increased earned revenue totaling $5 million (or 6% of our budget).
The budget was balanced through expectations to increase earned income, add select programming, repurpose materials, reduce non-essential expenses, and workforce reduction among other strategies.
These efforts align with our goal to prioritize long-term sustainability to ensure a thriving future.
WORKFORCE
In an effort to attract and retain the DCPA’s talented workforce, the organization focused many of its FY25 efforts on wellness and team engagement. Taking the lead from its People & Culture Team and an all-new HR Advisory Committee, employees enjoyed activities presented by Denver Botanic Gardens, Wellness Walks, Midweek Meditations, and Wellness Webinars among other efforts.
Team building opportunities also filled the calendar with Flannel and Flapjacks, Spring Box Swap, Holiday Artisan Fair, Ping Pong Tournament, and always popular Design Studio Halloween Party & Pumpkin Carving Contest.
As importantly, the organization’s Peer Advocacy Coalition for EDI (PACE) held informational sessions on the Suffrage movement to complement The Suffragette’s Murder and the History of Drag to complement the team’s participation in PRIDE.
By prioritizing wellness, creativity, and cultural learning, the organization continued to foster a vibrant internal community that reflects the same care and excellence it brings to the stage.
FACILITIES & VENUES
In FY25, the DCPA undertook a range of venue-related initiatives — completing one renovation, proposing another for voter approval, and concluding exploration of a third.
The first was a renovation of the Seawell Ballroom to improve safety and provide an elevated customer experience. After a four-month closure, the nearly 30-year-old Seawell Ballroom reopened with modernized elevators, a new bidirectional escalator, and all-new carpeting.
Next, the Venue Operations team proposed an update to the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex entrance to improve safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. This proposal is part of the City’s Vibrant Denver bond proposal in November 2025.
Together, these efforts reflect the DCPA’s thoughtful approach to stewarding its physical spaces — balancing immediate improvements with long-term planning to create safe, welcoming, and inspiring environments for all who engage with its work.
ENVIRONMENT
In FY25, the DCPA continued to advance its commitment to long-term sustainability through targeted environmental initiatives.
The Venue Operations team completed a full conversion to LED lighting in its administration and production building, improving energy efficiency and reducing consumption. Additionally, through its partnership with Xcel Energy’s Strategic Energy Management Program, the organization identified energy-saving opportunities, secured consulting support, and achieved modeled savings of 27,836 kWh and $26,500 in cost reductions.
The team also conducted a comprehensive waste audit across all venues, established baseline data for waste diversion, and began evaluating production practices to reduce environmental impact.
These efforts align with Goal 6 of the Strategic Plan and reflect the DCPA’s role as a responsible steward of community resources.
TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC GOAL:
To modernize our use of technology to advance audience and donor relations
To elevate the organization’s customer service and modernize its technology, FY25 proved to be as pivotal off stage as on. Led by its IT and Marketing & Sales teams, the DCPA transitioned its ticketing system to a new provider, which allowed for additional enhancements such as choose-your-own seat maps and Apple Wallet capability.
Once the organization moved to the Tessitura ticketing system, the DCPA quickly added a new digital ticket wallet, which allows patrons to share tickets, access performance details instantly, and trust the authenticity of their tickets. Additionally, the new services allow patrons to schedule a phone appointment with Ticket Agents to review their ticketing options. Finally, the organization moved to an “evergreen” auto renewal process for all subscribers, which guarantees their seats season over season.
These upgrades benefited both patrons and staff. Many new technology tools were implemented to improve efficiency, data security, and automation — all of which are intended to conserve resources and support the goal
around financial sustainability. These included all-new accounting systems, implementation of AI tools, and ticketing software that automatically adjusts pricing and assigns seats to subscribers.
These strategic technology upgrades reflect the DCPA’s commitment to innovation, accessibility, and sustainability. By investing in tools that enhance the patron experience and streamline operations, the organization is poised to meet evolving expectations and build a more responsive future. With these advancements, the DCPA continued to honor its role as a cultural leader and trusted steward of community support.
GIVING IMPACT
The generosity of donors, sponsors, and foundations forms the foundation of the DCPA’s financial sustainability. From the invaluable time of volunteers to legacy gifts thoughtfully included in estate plans, every contribution fuels our mission. We are deeply grateful for the continued support of a community that believes in the power of theatre to inspire, connect, and transform.
