DENVER CENTER OF THE PERFORMING ARTS

History and General Information

Founded in 1972 and dedicated to excellence in the arts, The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) is a showcase for live theater, a nurturing ground for new plays, a preferred stop on the Broadway touring circuit, an award-winning multi-media production facility, a renational training school for actors, and the site of a voice clinic and research facility.

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the Denver Performing Arts Complex — the facility in which The Denver Center presents world-class theater — were the vision of Donald R. Seawell. Finding himself at 14th and Curtis streets in downtown Denver one day, looking at the old Auditorium Theater and the surrounding four blocks, Seawell had an idea for a first-class arts complex.

Ground was broken in December 1974. By 1978 the 2,700-seat Boettcher Concert Hall — the nation's first in-the-round concert hall — was completed, along with an eight-story, 1,700-space parking garage. By 1979 the Auditorium Theater had been renovated, two cabaret spaces had been added and the Helen G. Bonfils Theater Complex opened with its four theatres: The Stage, Space, Source (now Jones) and Ricketson. The 2,830-seat Temple Hoyne Buell Theater was completed in 1991 and the Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom was added in 1998. 2006 saw the grand entrance of the newly renovated and historically renewed Auditorium, which is home to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The DCPA is currently the largest tenant of the Arts Complex and encompasses Denver Center Theater Company, Denver Center Attractions, the Education Department and the National Center for Voice & Speech.

The Denver Center Theater Company (DCTC) was created in 1979 as the region's largest resident, professional theater company. Under the leadership of Edward Payson Call from 1979 to 1983, Donovan Marley from 1984 to 2005 and currently Kent Thompson, the Theater Company has created an impressive body of classic and contemporary drama and world premieres. In acknowledgment of this work, the DCTC received the 1998 Tony Award® for Outstanding Regional Theater. The Company celebrated its 25th season in 2003 and its compilation of work —266 productions, 77 of which were world premieres.

Denver Center Attractions (DCA) was created by Robert Garner, presenter of national touring companies since 1961, and joined the Center in 1979. When Garner retired in 1992, his hand-picked successor was DCA's present Executive Director, Randy Weeks. Center Attractions presents Broadway touring shows and its impressive attendance record has made Denver a "pick" city. The revival of Hello, Dolly starring Carol Channing, Sunset Boulevard and Disney’s The Lion King have chosen Denver as the first stop on their national tours. DCA also produces cabaret including I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, which ran for more than four years making it Denver's longest-running musical.

The Denver Center’s Education Department was started in October of 1984 when the DCPA and the American National Theater and Academy joined together to establish the National Theater Conservatory, a three-year graduate acting program. The Denver Center Theater Academy was added in 1991 as a community school for children and adults in a professional setting. Founded in 1983 and headed, until his death in 1994, by the noted otolaryngologist Dr. Wilbur James Gould, the National Center for Voice & Speech (NCVS), is the only such facility in the world that is part of a performing arts organization. Originally designed to study the voice and speech patterns of stage performers, in 2003 the voice center joined with the University of Colorado Hospital to establish a voice practice available to all persons with vocal disorders. This collaboration enables the NCVS to evolve from primarily a research facility to one that includes a medical clinic.
