The Denver Center for the Performing Arts runs child and teen acting camps and classes for ages 3 to 18 at its Robert & Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education at 1101 13th Street, in both half-day and full-day formats. Offerings include drama and visual art, musical theatre and drama classes, three-week drama or musical camps for ages 6 to 13, and a two-week conservatory-style intensive for high school sophomores through seniors that covers acting technique, character development, voice and movement and text analysis with professional DCPA artists.

Powered by GoogleThis is an amazing center. I have been in three of the performance halls. All are well done and well maintained. Acoustics are great, I don't think there would be a bad spot in any of their halls.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is an awesome spot for a night out. There are so many theaters in one area, so you get a huge variety of shows. Whether you’re seeing an opera at the Ellie Caulkins or a big Broadway tour at the Buell, the experience is always great. It’s a fun, lively part of downtown Denver that everyone should check out. Even found a really fun art installation during a recent visit!
*EDIT* Again they responded below and were of no help. 😂 Had a weird experience with asking for help through email and by calling the box office. They were not able to give me a concrete answer as to when/if rush tickets are available or if I qualify as a first responder to even be able to get the tickets. They said it was up to whoever was working on the box office. Such a shame that my job where I provide safety and medical assistance 30,000 feet in the air is not recognized as a first responder at this organization. Even though many other organizations value our contribution to keeping people safe. Flight attendants are first responders too.
Parking: Wildly expensive and poorly managed Tickets: Often don’t work, have to wait in a box office line to get them reprinted Staff: Aggressively rude - physically pushed me out of line while trying to sort out their ticket QR code error Seats: Torture devices Bathrooms: Scarce, with 20 minute lines Concessions: Overpriced and low quality Fire hazard: 10/10 - the place is packed like a sardine can with very few exits. It doesn’t matter how good the performance is - at the end of the night you’ll feel frustrated, sore, and financially exploited - so really, what’s the point?
Such a great place to see a play! So many theater options, from Broadway to local shows. Musicals, drama and comedy. Symphony is wonderful as well. Decent places nearby for a drink or bite and several of the venues host private functions as well. Always a stimulating artistic adventure!
