Denver’s Top-Heavy Theatre

Denver theatre is top heavy. There are a couple of large companies at the top, then… an absence of mid-size theatres. So what’s the problem? “The greatest weakness of the Denver theater community is its repetitively conservative fare. New and innovative works are the lifeblood of any artistic community, but in a down economy, familiar titles keep theaters open. More than a dozen companies have folded in the past 18 months – and none of them was producing standard fare.”
