The Venue Theatre Company

We believe in opening hearts & minds by giving youth the tools to share songs & stories. In 2022, we have continued to offer safe, in-person performing art classes. However, even with typical ticket sales & events, The Venue needs critical financial support to make the theatre stronger.

Testimonials

In 2020, the majority of live theatre, performing arts, and in-person community events were placed on hiatus due to COVID-19. Yet, children in the Foothills and Denver area community still crave the enrichment and socialization that live artmaking offers. The Venue Theatre Company has continued to offer children in its community performing arts programs to benefit their physical and mental well-being. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the theatre has tirelessly worked to create a strong and safe learning environment for all students.

Testimonials from 2022 include:

"In a time where theater is closed all over the country, and where connecting & growing opportunities in person are few and far between -The Venue Theatre Company and Amy Dolan Fletcher have risen to the challenge of providing not just Covid safe musical and theatrical opportunities- They have committed to the true artistic and emotional process, providing the foundation and tools to expand technical skill, to stretch beyond limitations, to truly connect with our authentic self in order to tell a story, and to express deeply from the heart - all while creating a set of needed skills in full productions taught by those who have experience on Broadway-who are bright and shining examples of entrepreneurship and expression. No one else in Colorado is offering anything close to this experience. I truly hope people will financially support The Venue now and for years to come as they rebuild the idea of how a community theater can bring people together when they need it most."- Emery Archer, Parent

“The Venue Theatre is our second home for the past 10 years. It has given my children a creative outlet and also has given them a safe space to be themselves. On top of all these great things, they have learned life skills such as public speaking , memorization, work ethic, problem solving and working cooperatively with a group. The Venue Theatre will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will always be committed to volunteering to see that this place stays open for years to come.” -Melissa Bartt, Parent

“The Venue has made us a “theater family.” All three of my girls would rather be there than anywhere else. They are learning from such talented and inspiring people. They feel encouraged and supported. It’s given them a greater sense of confidence, and they’re making great friends and having a ton of fun along the way. On top of all of that, there are amazing ways for everyone in our family to participate and help, which we love doing.” - Marni Reinstein, Parent
