FORWARD MOMENTUM
Fiscal year 2024 (FY24) was one of forward momentum for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). After launching its five-year strategic plan in FY23, the 45-year-old non-profit has a clear roadmap with three primary areas of focus:
• Programming
• Engagement
• Sustainability
In order to achieve our first goal — to create one million engagements annually — these three focal points must work in tandem to attract a diverse and growing audience to our programming, to engage new patrons and enrich the theatre-going experience, and to sustain our workforce, financial foundation, facilities and venues, and environment.
Herein is a report of our efforts in FY24 that set us on a course for the next five years.
From locally produced Denver Center Theatre Company plays such as A Little Night Music, Cebollas, and Rubicon to lighthearted Cabaret hits including Miss Rhythm — The Legend of Ruth Brown, The Improvised Shakespeare Company,® and Yippee Ki Yay. From family favorites including Little Red, Camp Christmas and the return of Disney’s Frozen to Broadway blockbusters like SIX, MJ, and TINA: The Tina Turner Musical. The DCPA offered 53 unique ticketed events to attract an increasingly diverse community.
educational classes, in-school workshops, and free and low-cost ticket opportunities, the DCPA welcomed a spectrum of ages and interests — many of whom were enjoying theatre for the very first time.
The organization focused on building up and bringing in a robust workforce while reinforcing its financial position, improving accessibility and safety standards in its venues, and reducing its impact on the environment. Additionally, FY24 allowed the organization to lay the foundation for modernization of its technology when it implemented new financial systems to support accounting, budgeting, and reporting, as well as preparatory work for implementation of a new, integrated ticketing and customer relationship management system in FY25.
These efforts take a committed staff, drawn together and held up by, teamwork, creativity, and passion.
These efforts take dedicated leaders who coalesce team members to unify toward common goals and cheer on their efforts one standing ovation at a time.
And these efforts take a community — of patrons, donors, volunteers, partners, and peers — that set aside differences, take a seat and lean into a common experience where stories unfold, creativity is celebrated and imagination soars.

PROGRAMMING LINES
Broadway, Cabaret, Theatre Company, Off-Center, Education & Community Engagement, and Event Services
With an ambitious goal to create one million engagements annually, the DCPA is committed to breaking down barriers to participation, selecting programming that resonates with different age groups and interests, and attracting new audiences with intentionality.
In FY24, the DCPA was well on its way to achieving this goal when it offered nearly 909,000 engagements, of which 750,000 admissions were attributed to one of 53 ticketed events.
To broaden access to its programming, last season the DCPA launched its Broadway Seats program. This partnership between the organization and Broadway touring producers enabled the DCPA to distribute nearly 1,400 tickets to under-represented audiences who enjoyed shows such as MJ, Disney’s Frozen, TINA — The Tina Turner Musical, and more.
Efforts to grow new audiences also took center stage with an explosion of interest in the SCFD-funded lowcost ticket program, growing 38% thanks to inclusion of Broadway shows. Additionally, the DCPA invited new residents to the theatre, extended free tickets to partner organizations for Off-Center experiences, grew its 30 & Under Radvantage program, and saw a steep uptick in individuals taking advantage of military, senior, and accessible services discounts.
These free and low-cost programs, along with the DCPA’s other free and low-cost ticket opportunities, allowed the organization to welcome nearly 164,000 individuals in FY24 — 22% of all tickets distributed.

At the same time — and for the first time — organization leaders began a holistic examination across all programming lines to address the second goal of the strategic plan. The purpose was to identify areas of opportunity whereby, through shifts to genre, timing, and selection, the organization could broaden its appeal to different ages, ethnicities, and interests; work within our means, and balance ambition with capacity.
Early highlights of this work were showcased in the sold-out Colorado New Play Summit, which attracted die-hard theatre enthusiasts interested in never-beforeseen works plus the world premieres of Cebollas and Rubicon, the former of which drew audiences to a Colorado-based story and the latter of which attracted history buffs. Additionally, two different works by Pulitzer-winning playwright Lynn Nottage (the locally produced Clyde’s and Broadway mega-musical MJ ) welcomed diverse audiences while Off-Center presented Space Explorers: THE INFINITE for space enthusiasts, tech followers and adventurous audiences. Family audiences enjoyed a 10-week run of Little Red for PreK3rd grade and the returns of Annie, Bluey’s Big Play, and Disney’s Frozen
This work to broaden participation through low-cost opportunities and diversified programming paired with classes, events, and engagement efforts had the DCPA well on its way to engaging with the community both close to home and around the state.

PROGRAMMING
BROADWAY
Presenting national touring productions from Broadway and beyond on Denver’s biggest
DCPA Broadway presented a bigger, brighter, and bolder season with returning fan favorites and awardwinning productions direct from the road. The lineup included the smash hits MJ and SIX, the 25th anniversary celebration of MAMMA MIA!, and the groundbreaking Jagged Little Pill, which saw hundreds of repeat patrons during the run. The season was a resounding success, with 16 shows meeting or exceeding revenue goals.
The Broadway Seats program provided underrepresented communities the opportunity to experience the transformative power of live theatre. In addition to these efforts, the Broadway touring production of TINA – The Tina Turner Musical designated more than 200 tickets to be used to welcome community members at only $35 per ticket.
Denver audiences experienced some noteworthy local highlights throughout the season:
Fan favorite Dixie Longate crossed over from the intimate setting of the Garner Galleria Theatre to the
stages
Ellie Caulkins Opera House, presenting a one-nightonly engagement of a brand-new show, Dixie Longate: Cherry Bombs and Bottle Rockets.
When in Denver, the touring company of Chicago paid tribute to the legendary Chita Rivera (1933-2024), who originated the role of the show’s Velma Kelly as well as Anita in West Side Story and the title role of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which toured to Denver in the 1995/96 season.
A warm homecoming was due for Disney’s Frozen
The DCPA presented the pre-Broadway engagement in 2017, and Denver welcomed the show back with enthusiasm. A total of seven performances were added to the run due to popular demand.
Through the strong support of its patrons, DCPA Broadway was excited to bring the best touring shows to the Mile High City.

PROGRAMMING CABARET
Entertaining audiences with comedy, improv, musicals, and more
In the intimate setting of the Garner Galleria Theatre, DCPA Cabaret presented improvisational comedies, musical favorites, and world premiere productions.
Miss Rhythm – The Legend of Ruth Brown, a brandnew musical developed by local artists Sheryl McCallum and David Nehls, wowed audiences for a full six-month run. The show was supported by an all-local creative team, cast, and musicians, producing an effective piece of 1960’s time-travel that was part concert and part musical.
The holiday season saw many patrons excited to experience a comedic retelling of the classic action romp in the Die Hard parody, Yippee Ki Yay. Three performances were added to the initial run due to overwhelming demand.
The Garner Galleria also saw the fifth return of The Improvised Shakespeare Company,® a local fan favorite. The production’s popularity extended to student matinees, with an additional performance added to meet
demand. This was an extraordinary achievement for DCPA Group Sales, which ended the fiscal year 174% to its revenue goal for Cabaret productions.
In between productions, the DCPA’s Venue Operations team worked in tandem with Denver Arts & Venues to renovate the Garner Galleria Theatre. The improvements included creating an accessible restroom and adding an external window for the Box Office. Upon completion, the theatre was prepared to welcome an influx of patrons, with Cabaret attendance up 54% from the previous year.
DCPA Cabaret embraces the local artistic community and serves as a touchpoint for many Colorado creatives, from Miss Rhythm’s Sheryl McCallum and David Nehls to The Secret Comedy of Women creators Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein. The DCPA is proud to collaborate with and uplift fresh — and enduring — voices and to see our region’s audiences welcome original experiences.

PROGRAMMING
DENVER CENTER THEATRE COMPANY
Bringing handcrafted classics, world premieres, and modern masterpieces
to life on stage
The 44th Denver Center Theatre Company season was defined by its new play development program plus a lineup of powerful dramas, infectious comedies, and timeless classics.
First up was Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music helmed by Artistic Director Chris Coleman. The beautiful musical with its quintessential “Send in the Clowns” pulled at the heart strings with its multi-generational love affairs, while two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage served up a story of redemption in Clyde’s
The talents of the artistic team were on full display with the annual production of A Christmas Carol and a charming, fresh adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma — both of which were filled with period costumes, handcrafted wigs, and gorgeous sets.
Stories of immigrants were showcased in Where Did We Sit on the Bus? and The Lehman Trilogy, the former of which used the musical style of looping to ask where Latinos fit in the civil rights movement while the latter featured three actors playing more than 50 roles as they recounted the rise and fall of the Lehman brothers over 163 years.
And in a boon to the American theatre, the Theatre Company saw unprecedented interest in its new play development program. Its world premiere productions of Leonard Madrid’s comedy Cebollas and Kirsten Potter’s real-life spy thriller Rubicon were both extended based on popular demand — a first for new Theatre Company plays. Additionally, the Company’s annual Colorado New Play Summit shifted to larger venues to accommodate enthusiastic audiences. Finally, original works by the Theatre Company went on to stages across the nation, including the 2022/23 world premiere of Laughs in Spanish with eight subsequent productions in Baltimore, Coral Gables, Fayetteville, Hartford, Houston, Ithaca, Milwaukee, and Seattle.
While continuing to produce a selection of triedand-true classics of the stage, the Theatre Company maintained its commitment to new works, fresh voices, and diverse programming that reflect the tapestry of Colorado audiences.

12,053
Students participated in specially priced Student Matinees, post-show discussions, and Student Rush ticket opportunities.
PROGRAMMING OFF-CENTER
Creating unexpected theatrical experiences that place the audience at the center of the story
What started as an experiment into immersive theatre has become a launchpad for some of the most exciting works in this growing art form. In fact, in FY24, DCPA Off-Center hosted The Immersive Immersive, a gathering and “pitch fair” representing more than 200 individuals from 42 cities and four countries. This convening continued to define Denver as the nation’s hub for immersive experiences.
While DCPA leaders assessed programming as part of the strategic plan, they acknowledged that artistic ambition must be balanced with staff capacity. For OffCenter, the impact is three-fold.
First, following years of experimentation, Off-Center now delivers large-scale immersive projects with high production values, growing its audience by 494% since FY19. To manage the impact on the DCPA’s production team, it was decided that Off-Center will produce its own original programming every other year complemented by presentations from other markets. For example, in FY24 Off-Center presented Space Explorers: THE INFINITE in Aurora, a virtual reality experience that took participants aboard the International Space Station and on a walk in space.
Second, Off-Center will cultivate partnerships both to develop new works and to present its original productions. In FY24, the team hosted three readings of Regan Linton’s new play, FDR’s Very Happy Hour, to garner local and national partners interested in further development. Additionally, Off-Center held three workshops with Third Rail Projects to inform its soon-to-be-announced project for young audiences.
Plus, after a successful five-year run in Colorado, it was announced that the Off-Center/Hanzon Studios original engagement of Camp Christmas will move on to the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas in late 2024.
Finally, while the nomadic style of Off-Center has enabled it to move throughout the metro area, it takes considerable resources to reinvent a venue for each experience. Therefore, Off-Center announced a twoyear residence at Broadway Park® while looking for a permanent home.
As immersive theatre and Off-Center continued to expand, local, national, and international interest continued to attract new and diverse audiences who help to shape its future.
IMPACT
Since its inception in 2010, Off-Center has offered more than 15,000 performances.
Space Explorers: THE INFINITE welcomed more than 2,700 students from 13 Colorado counties to Student Matinees.
DCPA Off-Center was chosen to launch the US premieres of DARKFIELD (FY25 from Australia) and MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition (FY25 from UK).
88,356
Off-Center attendance at two timed-entry productions, Camp Christmas and Space Explorers: THE INFINITE.

2,454

PROGRAMMING SPECIAL EVENTS
Producing awe-inspiring events in dramatic venues
From showstopping celebrations for area non-profits to the DCPA’s own spectacular galas, The Seawell, Directors Room, lobbies, classrooms, and theatres served as a canvas for some of the area’s biggest events. The creativity of the theatrically trained DCPA Event Services team combined with eight preferred caterers and extraordinary technical capabilities set the stage for more than 130 unforgettable occasions in FY24.
Among the year’s highlights were the DCPA’s own fundraisers — Hattitude and Saturday Night Alive — which were envisioned by Development and brought to life by Event Services. The Hattitude luncheon had its best year ever with 650 guests in attendance and $110,000 in gross sales to benefit the work of female playwrights and directors. Additionally, Tony-winning Broadway star and producer LaChanze headlined the annual Saturday Night Alive gala, which welcomed more than 500 individuals and grossed just over $900,000 for theatre and education programs.
The DCPA’s Development team also hosted several season-long premium member events paired with Broadway and Theatre Company shows. Attendance at the long-running Directors Society evenings more than doubled while Corporate Memberships resumed for the first time since the pandemic welcoming 416 guests.
These events took place in the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex’s lobbies, Directors Room, and The Seawell, which was originally added atop the building in 1998. To maintain its attraction as one of the city’s premier rental venues, Event Services announced a massive renovation project for FY25, which will modernize the passenger and freight elevators as well as replace the original single direction escalator with a two-way escalator to improve safety and provide greater flexibility.
In addition to the Bonfils Complex, the DCPA owns and manages the Robert & Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education. When not used for classes, DCPA Education & Community Engagement provided its 14 studios to community partners for rehearsals and events that welcomed nearly 1,000 guests to 17 activities.
To fulfill its strategic plan goal of maximizing the use of its spaces, the DCPA administered a space needs assessment of cultural organizations and partners that will help the DCPA advance its mission, deepen local partnerships, and provide more opportunities for the community to convene and enjoy shared cultural experiences.

PROGRAMMING EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Nurturing a love of theatre through programs, classes, and community connections across the region
Eager students, committed actors, and Colorado schools took their imagination to the next level with DCPA Education & Community Engagement. The department provided classes, in-school programs, community events and performances while the Audience Development, Group Sales, and Theatre Services teams managed Student Matinees, tours, post-show discussions, and low-cost ticket programs.
DCPA Education & Community Engagement saw exponential growth in FY24. Starting as young as preschool, its Book Stars literacy program invited more than 27,000 children to bring beloved books to life through hands-on activities.
The team also presented its Theatre for Young Audiences production of Little Red, welcoming nearly 21,000 PreK through third grade children of whom 5,884 received a full or partial scholarship.
Middle and high school students enjoyed student offers and the Student Matinee program, which together welcomed nearly 22,000 students to Cabaret, Theatre Company, Off-Center, and Theatre for Young Audiences productions.
The Education team presented 84 abridged performances through Shakespeare in the Parking Lot
to 15,000 Colorado high school students, including at the 40th Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival, co-presented by the DCPA. Additionally, the organization participated in the 59th Colorado Thespian Convention for 5,500 middle and high school students who enjoyed dynamic workshops, theatre tours, and panel discussions with the Broadway touring company of SIX
To foster aspiring writers, the DCPA’s Middle School & High School Playwriting Competition received 250 total entries, growing by 40% with the top three plays receiving a reading at the Colorado New Play Summit.
Additionally, programs such as Dramatic Learning Arts Integration served more than 15,000 students; Resiliency, which provides life skills to adults with physical and cognitive disabilities, grew by 308%; Career Readiness introduced nearly 3,000 students to theatre jobs, and the Bobby G High School Musical Theatre Awards celebrated 51 participating schools and welcomed nearly 2,000 guests to a celebration of the state’s talented youth.
The transformative power of live theatre was used to cultivate tomorrow’s audiences, instill an early appreciation of the arts, and stimulate creativity with immense support from schools, educators, and students across the state.

ENGAGEMENT AUDIENCES & COMMUNITY
Engagement with the Colorado community continued to be the cornerstone of the DCPA’s strategic plan. Of course, the primary entry point remained through the organization’s six programming lines as noted on pages six through 19. The DCPA’s Audience Development and Community Engagement teams offered free and lowcost tickets to a variety of programs.
• DCPAccess sold more than 17,000 low-cost tickets to all programming lines.
• Broadway Seats & Off-Center Community Tickets extended more than 8,500 free tickets to underrepresented communities.
• Invited Dress Rehearsals and Test Audiences provided free tickets to upcoming shows.
• Student, Senior and Military Rush offered half-price tickets one-hour before select shows.
However, in order to make progress toward goal three of the strategic plan — to expand our SCFD presence throughout the seven-county region — the DCPA’s efforts extended beyond the stage to ensure that an increasing number of residents had opportunities to connect with the organization.
For instance, DCPA Education & Community Engagement took its popular Shakespeare in the Parking Lot program into neighborhoods this past spring and fall. These free abridged presentations of Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream were enjoyed by nearly 1,500 participants throughout the seven-county metro area.
This team also held several activities at the Arts Complex, including sold-out community dance classes at which participants learned numbers from A Chorus Line and Singin’ in the Rain as well as Drag Queen Story Times featuring a collection of children’s story books about acceptance and belonging.
In addition to ongoing promotional offers, the Marketing & Sales team cultivated audiences through a new resident campaign, amplified the 30 & Under Radvantage membership, and created theme nights at Off-Center’s Camp Christmas including Dress Like Santa Night, National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, and Holiday Pajama Day. Additionally, the team implemented a new website accessibility widget to enable customized browsing and produced videos explaining accessibility services and wayfinding in our theatres.
One of the most meaningful ways in which the DCPA connected with the community was through its sevencounty strategic plan rollout. In FY20, organization leadership solicited community input to help shape the goals and objectives for the next five years. While the rollout was delayed due to COVID, it was especially important to the DCPA to reconnect with residents, civic partners, and cultural peers and share the results of their initial input.
Engagement was and will continue to be an increasing area of focus as the DCPA works to create one million engagements, elevate SCFD partner organizations, maximize space usage, advance donor relations and create a sustainable, long-term vision for the organization.

ENGAGEMENT PEERS & PARTNERSHIPS
In addition to the ways in which the DCPA worked to engage with audiences, the organization also sought to enrich the patron experience through meaningful partnerships and opportunities. From 100 post-show cast discussions for nearly 11,100 individuals to insightful backstage tours that gave 2,266 guests a look into the production process, the DCPA hosted a number of events to deepen connections with its community.
For example, DCPA Community Engagement partnered with area organizations to enhance the patron experience at Theatre for Young Audiences productions of Little Red. The Denver Zoo brought its animal “ambassadors” — a snake, bird of prey, porcupine, and an owl — to delight young children before the show. In return, cast members visited the Zoo to meet the reallife animals that their characters portrayed. Additionally, the Denver Library’s Bookmobile came on-site for young readers to check out books after the musical.
Similarly, DCPA Off-Center collaborated with Wings Over the Rockies to produce a podcast on the first virtual reality spacewalk experience featuring OffCenter’s Space Explorers: THE INFINITE.
While the organization developed partnerships to extend the audience experience, there were instances when the DCPA was tapped to do the same for other partners such as when the cast of Miss Rhythm performed the national anthem at the State of Colorado’s naturalization ceremony, and a number of Broadway performers were invited to sing at area sporting events.
Finally, the organization also showed its support of area fairs and festivals. From staffing an informational booth to providing hands-on activities or walking in a parade, the DCPA engaged with neighbors at such events as PRIDE, DragonBoat, Global Fest, and DMNS’s Dia del Niño.

Workforce, Finance, Facilities & Venues, and Environment
The DCPA’s strategic plan calls upon the organization to prioritize long-term sustainability in order to deliver its mission. This multi-faceted goal brings into focus four areas of sustainability: workforce, finance, facilities and venues, and environment. Year one of the plan laid considerable groundwork for the efforts to come.
WORKFORCE
The DCPA’s commitment to build and sustain a healthy workforce was demonstrated through its efforts to broaden recruitment for new team members, invest in competitive total rewards packages, offer activities to foster the health and financial wellness of staff, and build a positive organizational culture through wellness walks, all-team meetings, company celebrations, and more.
Additionally, its equity, diversity and inclusion efforts centered around building a culture of belonging. This focus was shared with staff through ongoing training, a refreshed Board recruitment process to promote diverse and regional representation, four affinity groups, and one learning space.
To build the workforce of tomorrow, DCPA Education continued to offer its Career Readiness program, introducing nearly 3,000 students to jobs in theatre. Likewise, DCPA President & CEO Janice Sinden spoke at the Global Minded Conference to elevate diverse career opportunities in the arts.

FINANCE
The pandemic highlighted the need for non-profits to diligently plan for economic downturns to survive. In response, the DCPA five-year strategic plan prioritizes long-term financial sustainability to deliver on the organization’s mission. To achieve this goal, the DCPA:
• Established a board-governed reserve policy, which will require funding strategies, use guidelines, and replenishment requirements for long-term financial sustainability.
• Increased revenues where possible and allocated base-budget investments in programs and support services to drive patron engagement and impact.
• Developed a multi-year program planning model called Fifty Forward to ensure base program funding over a multi-year cycle.
• Explored grant resources and other philanthropic contributions to fund critical needs for facilities and equipment.
Additionally, organizational leaders participated in two national lobbying groups to elevate support of the arts at the federal level: Performing Arts Venues Alliance (PAVA) and Professional Non-Profit Theater Coalition (PNTC), which introduced the STAGE Act requesting $1 billion for the sector each of five years.
FACILITIES & VENUES
The DCPA was a grateful beneficiary of $3.1 million from the City of Denver’s RISE GO Bond fund, which provided accessibility and fire/life safety improvements to the Jones Theatre, The Seawell passenger elevator, and Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex restrooms and lobby.
Similarly, working in tandem with Denver’s Arts & Venues, the Garner Galleria Theatre was renovated to provide accessible restrooms, upgrade the Box Office, and install an exterior ticket window.
DCPA Venue Operations also announced a major planned improvement for the The Seawell passenger and freight elevators and replace the single bidirectional escalator with two new escalators. improvements will improve safety and provide greater flexibility for clients and events.
Finally, in an effort to reduce costs, optimize personnel resources and minimize waste, DCPA Off-Center continued to evaluate possible locations for a permanent home. While this programming line continues to search for a more sustainable option, the DCPA signed a two-year lease on the former ACE Hardware building at Broadway and Alameda for its 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons.
ENVIRONMENT
In its second year as a participant in Xcel Energy’s Strategic Energy Management program, the DCPA worked with a consultant to identify and implement energy efficiency opportunities. As a result, the Engineering team implemented several energy savings recommendations to the building systems from the opportunity register, leading to a reduction in consumption by approximately 18,000 ton/hour and a savings of approximately $28,000 in utility costs. Additionally, engineers saved an additional 6% in energy costs by fine tuning equipment and adjusting operational protocols. Finally, the DCPA completed two phases of a three-phase LED conversion of the DCPA’s Administrative building in FY24, the impact of which will be realized in FY25.
Efforts to decrease the DCPA’s impact on the environment were also shared by the IT department, which replaced most of the organization’s physical phones with a Microsoft Teams-based system. This upgrade was part of a larger effort to reduce costs, waste, and energy consumption by the IT team.
Additionally, the City of Denver’s Arts & Venues division, implemented the r.Cup system, which serves beverages in reusable cups to Broadway patrons in the Buell Theatre
Finally, in response to employee feedback, the DCPA installed indoor bicycle storage racks, invested in RTD’s EcoPass for all employees, and hosted a gathering to celebrate Bike to Work Day participants.
GIVING IMPACT
Donors, sponsors, and foundations provide the base infrastructure for the DCPA’s financial sustainability efforts. Whether the gift of a volunteer’s time or legacy gifts that individuals include in their estate plans, the DCPA is grateful for ongoing support of the community.
