Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We want to build a community that educates, enlightens and enriches people's lives every day. Ticket sales only cover a portion of what it costs to produce our plays, bring Broadway tours to Denver, educate 84,000 Colorado youth every year and inspire the Rocky Mountain region with theatre experiences of all kinds. Research proves that when students are exposed to the arts they are more confident, excel in subjects like math and language arts, and are more empathetic within their community. Support from donors not only helps enrich these students' lives it also helps build a stronger community.
