The Historic Elitch Theatre is over 130-years old and is currently in the 20th year of a restoration and preservation project.  The theatre theatre has been a vital part of Colorado’s cultural landscape since it opened in 1891. As one of Colorado’s first cultural centers, the Elitch Theatre was home to the oldest summerTheatre Interior stock theatre in America and hosted the screening of Colorado’s first moving picture in 1896. Legends of American theater performed on this stage: Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Grace Kelly, Vincent Price, and Edward G. Robinson, are among the alumni of the Historic Elitch Theatre. 

Since 2002 the Historic Elitch Theatre Foundation has been working to restore and preserve Denver's oldest cultural venue.  Following 20-years of preservation work, the board of the theatre is excited to announce that live theatre will return to the stage in the summer of 2023. Please take a minute to support the ongoing work to save this beautiful theatre, and support our upcoming summer of programs!

Your donation support our Summer Film Series and History Tours. Additionally, your support helps us with the ongoing efforts to preserve this historic landmark.
