2021/22 Denver Center for the Performing Arts Community Report

COMMUNITY REPORT 2021 / 22

WE ARE BACK

Fiscal Year 2022 began with a sense of rejuvenation. After receiving a $10 million award from the federally-funded Shuttered Venue Operators Grant to offset losses from FY20 and FY21, we were able to use this capacity to reinvest in our mission in FY22.

We optimistically announced our 2021/22 DCPA Theatre Company season. While not quite restored to pre-COVID levels, the Theatre Company was able to return to the stage with a six-play season, including the perennial favorite A Christmas Carol, plus the summer tour of Wild Fire — seven shows to reengage our audience after an 18-month hiatus.

These shows combined with 10 rescheduled Broadway tours, four cabaret shows, three Off-Center immersive projects, and hundreds of classes and events all offered more than 703,000 guest experiences to our community. Of note, the majority of these programs were compressed into just seven months as our return to concurrent programming didn’t start until December 2021.

Our reopening was not without its challenges. Working in tandem with our colleagues at the Arts Complex, we implemented temporary COVID vaccination and mask requirements to protect the health and well-being of our patrons, artists and staff. Additionally, we needed to refill 170 positions and recruit 220 volunteer ushers to return to pre-COVID staffing levels. Finally, we were forced to cancel 44 performances due to COVID-related cast illness and extreme weather, resulting in $3.7 million in lost gross revenue.

Yet, we prevailed.

The reason for our successful reopening is multi-faceted. First, we received an outpouring of support from our community, raising $4.4 million for our Recovery Fund. Second, more than 350 individuals, foundations and businesses helped us complete our ambitious $17 million capital campaign to renovate the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex. Third, more than 14,000 Broadway subscribers stuck with us despite the cancellation or postponement of 35 shows.

And, last but in no way least, our DCPA team — Trustees, staff and volunteers — gave every ounce of their energy, time and talents to make sure we would succeed. While we look forward to restarting our Theatre for Young Audiences program, rebuilding our Colorado New Play Summit and developing our next five-year Strategic Plan, the culmination of FY22 was clear: We are back! Welcome home.

Warm regards,

Janice Sinden President & CEO Martin Semple Chairman

A LEGACY: FORMER PRESIDENT, COO & TRUSTEE LESTER WARD

On October 21, 2021, former DCPA President, COO and Trustee Lester Ward passed away after 46 years of service. Working alongside the Board, Lester guided the organization through years of tremendous growth in new play development, the establishment of OffCenter and his strong commitment to theatre education. His contributions will be heard in every round of applause for decades to come.

DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF BELONGING

It takes a conscious and coordinated effort to create an amazing culture — one that is respectful of different people, perspectives, and experiences. As the DCPA continues its commitment to the advancement of equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging, leaders implemented Culture of Belonging and Respect workshops for all staff and visiting artists.

SUBSCRIBERS HAVE STAYING POWER

We’ve long known that our subscribers are loyal — it’s what makes this one of the best theatre markets in the country. But we found out exactly how loyal when we canceled and postponed 35 shows. Not only did 14,000 Broadway subscribers retain their packages over 18 long months, but we surged to 25,375 total subscribers upon our return. Thanks to near sell-out shows like Disney’s The Lion King, Hamilton and Moulin Rouge, our fans keep coming back for more.

VAN GOGH BROUGHT AURORA’S STANLEY MARKETPLACE TO LIFE

Just when locals were feeling a bit claustrophobic from COVID restrictions, Van Gogh Alive brought muchneeded relief. Held in the spacious Stanley Marketplace Hangar in Aurora, Van Gogh Alive invited audiences of all ages to be immersed in projections of the artist’s greatest masterpieces…all while providing ample space to socially distance from other participants. The sensory experience reunited our community with art, culture and one another.

WORLD PREMIERE OF RATTLESNAKE KATE REINTRODUCED NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT

The highly anticipated world premiere of Rattlesnake Kate ushered back the DCPA Theatre Company’s new play development program when it was held in conjunction with the 2022 Colorado New Play Summit. Based on a concept album by Neyla Pekarek, the production recounted the real-life tale of Kate Slaughterback who saved her horse, her homestead and her son from a rattlesnake migration. This Colorado legend was celebrated by three diverse actresses who portrayed different stages of Kate’s remarkable life.

CAMP CHRISTMAS SHONE BRIGHTLY

Camp Christmas was made merrier and brighter by its commitment to sustainability. Creator Lonnie Hanzon capitalized on Lakewood’s “Powered by Renewable Energy” program to offer an eco-friendly holiday destination. Camp Christmas was entirely solar powered and utilized LED lightbulbs and repurposed or recycled materials for its extravagant outdoor lighting displays. The renewable energy alone avoided 25,000 pounds of carbon emissions, leaving everyone with a glow of appreciation for the sustainability efforts of the area’s newest holiday tradition.

BOOK STARS

In a year when many programs were simply glad to restart, Book Stars exploded. This early childhood literacy program pairs a beloved book with theatre-based activities that bring a story to life. Over the past two years, Book Stars has grown exponentially by offering 1,036 workshops (a 240% increase from FY19) and connecting with 22,109 children — more than double previous levels. It’s never too early to cultivate a love of reading…and theatre.

DPS SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

Another program to not only restart but also grow was the Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival. As a full partner of the Festival, DCPA Education offers inschool workshops to help students prepare. Plus, DCPA educators adjudicate, host and promote the beloved event. This year the DCPA team offered 148 workshops (a 44% increase from FY19) and welcomed 500 more participants to the on-site performances for a total of 5,500 aspiring thespians.

BOBBY G AWARDS RECOGNIZES TALENT

The eighth annual Bobby G High School Musical Theatre Awards returned in-person to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. This celebration of the best in high school musical theatre featured emcee Abby Leher, 2018 Best Lead Actress and a recent contestant on “American Idol.” This year, adjudicators evaluated 41 participating productions and 3,500 students, ultimately sending the Best Lead Actor and Actress to New York to represent Colorado in the national Jimmy Awards.

CAMP CHRISTMAS CONNECTS WITH

COMMUNITY

Thanks to a $15,000 grant from Union Pacific and a $2,000 grant from the City of Lakewood Possibilities Fund, more than 9,000 individuals were able to see Camp Christmas at no charge Representing 14% of the total attendance, tickets were distributed by numerous partner organizations including area schools, libraries and rec centers. In addition to the elaborate light display, guests also enjoyed free carousel rides.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN COMPLETED

In 2010, the DCPA embarked on a three-phase, $57 million renovation of the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex, which required the DCPA to launch its first-ever capital campaign with a goal of $17 million. Despite economic uncertainty that resulted from COVID-19, individuals responded and the capital campaign was accomplished four years after being launched. More than 350 gifts including six bequests and 320 seats named to honor loved ones allowed the DCPA to meet this fundraising goal.

A SPECTACULAR SATURDAY NIGHT ALIVE

Talk about a spectacular Spectacular! Saturday Night Alive 2022 transported 500 guests to the glamour and glitz of the Moulin Rouge. Lynn & Kevin McDonald of the Genesee Mountain Foundation were honored with the Daniel L. Ritchie Spotlight Award for their outstanding philanthropic contributions at the DCPA’s 41st annual fundraiser, which grossed $830,000 for theatre and education.

The DCPA’s Community Engagement efforts restarted with ¡Comunidad, Cultura y Fiesta! Held in partnership with the Colorado Symphony and Denver Arts & Venues, nearly 400 attendees experienced delicious food, engaging music and Folklorico dancing by local partners. Then guests entered the fantastical world of DCPA Theatre Company’s Quixote Nuevo where the crowd was joined by playwright Octavio Solis making it a night to remember.

MAKING SHAKESPEARE RELATABLE

Many people have notions about Shakespeare. Lofty language, neck ruffs and swordplay. Toss out the pretentious impressions, add a park and a pickup truck, and you have the DCPA’s Shakespeare in the Parking Lot. This accessible education community engagement program has grown to include 15 free public performances at community centers, which were seen by 1,668 people. All hail the Bard!

NEW CATERING OPTIONS

To make the DCPA’s venues even more irresistible, our Events Services team expanded its food and beverage options. Now, guests can choose from six catering partners when planning an event. In addition to long-time partner Epicurean Group, we welcomed Biscuits and Berries, Catering by Design, Occasions Catering, Serendipity Catering and SODEXO Live! All of the caterers showcased their offerings at A Bite of the Ballroom, an event to reintroduce the Ballroom to meeting planners, businesses and the cultural community.

DRAG QUEENS STEAL THE RUNWAY

In 2021, the Seawell Ballroom played host to Dragutante, an annual drag show for LGBTQIA+ youth in Denver. But this year’s event wasn’t any event. It was filmed for Generation Drag, a new six-episode series on Discovery+ hosted by Tyra Banks, which aired on June 1. Get your drag on!
