Institute of performing art and mind power development is really excited to discover the performing arts activities. You are truly extraordinary. Carry on with the fascinating world of performing arts. You will outshine others in the future in the field of performing arts.

Attended a private event here during a conference and thought it was a very nice venue. Hope to return for other events.

Love going to see some of the less-well-known performances at the DCPA! Quality is always there, prices are affordable, and it’s a great night out. Especially love that the performing arts center is smack dab in the middle of downtown Denver. So convenient!

I only walked through the huge atrium bit. It was breath-taking. The arched skylights, the birds ambiently singing, the ample walking space. Ive yet to attend a show here, but the selection was amazing.Many glamor shots were taken.

The acoustics are unbelievable in this place! Such an elegant place to enjoy the opera. Easy in and out during intermission - and very comfortable seating. I love coming here.

I love the performing arts complex! I love going there to see shows and all.. it really is a great complex..but the only thing with it though is that its getting to be outdated. Its showing its age and really needs an update.

Love this place! The venue is amazing and they also have great camps over the summer!

Camp Christmas was absolutely fabulous. A fun ride for the senses. And great historical Christmas info

My husband and I always have a great time! Beautiful space for beautiful performances with the nicest staff.

Saw A Christmas Carol, it was great. Buy parking a head of time and make life real easy. The play was at the Stage, great venue,!

I dont know i was working making moneeeyyy

Truly disappointed by how they handled our situation. We did not see half of the performance we paid 200$ to see, which we arrived on time for. The ushers made a report and though they asked for my information to have someone contact us, my information did not make it on the papers. Luckily I had gotten a card from someone who seemed to be the head usher. I truly wished I never even called to try to get my money back. I was told it was all our faults and the theater and ushers handled everything properly. Well I was there, unlike the person whom I was on the phone with, and I have done theater for years and the whole time I was thinking about how badly it was handled. The bar tender also belittled us, which I was told would be a different complaint handled by another company. There is no stream line approach to have a complaint resolved and at the end of the day they will make it your fault no matter how many times you tried to reach out to an usher. Completely disheartened by this entire theater experience. Maybe I didn’t explained the entire situation as clear as I thought, yes maybe I could have been more clear. But I was still blamed the staffs short comings and my awful experience. They told me “sincere apologies”. I don’t believe that because they could not return anything dollar amount or even give a tiny discount for a future show, which I would have paid for still. I was very excited to see the show and introduce theater to by boyfriend but instead I am saddened by this entire experience.My advice is to not even contact feedback unless you were denied a seat entirely by staff or wrongful ejected because you will not receive help in any form.Edit: I have seen other shows here as well which went ok. However it’s been made clear to me that policies need to change and a more streamline approach is needed. But I do not think they will be revisiting or revising policies as there are other reviews demonstrating a similar lack of care.

Beautiful place, and super fun and classy to see traveling broadway shows!!

Absolutely fantastic place with lovely shows

Very beautiful place

We bought two tickets to DCPA to see a show on our wedding anniversary. When we got there we were denied entrance. Our tickets had been voided after we received them and our seats sold to somebody else. We were told this was because we had purchased the tickets through StubHub. Our evening was ruined.Ive bought tickets to literally dozens of venues from StubHub and never had anything like this happen before.Message to DCPA: WAKE UP!!! Do not void my ticket after I have received it.

I love going to the complex, but the last few times Ive been to the Buell somehow the sound system its not working correctly. Numerous people around me said the same thing, that they could not understand the speaking or words to the songs.

I loved the Constant Wife. The staff did such an amazing job! It was a great performance. I loved the stage and being able to see everyone no matter what seat I picked. I love the environment and all the staff was super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend going to a show!!

NEVER park in the parking garage at this place. After an event, it will take you at least 30 minutes or potentially an hour to get out of the parking garage. This has been a problem here for years and they don’t fix the problem

Great shows.

Its a lovely place to enjoy a wide variety of performing arts. The ticket prices are a bit higher than I would like see them.

Generally a great live theater complex that presents above average shows. Only a few minor issues which are...(1) The Buell requires that you go through intense security, which I have no problems with in todays society.....What is a bit odd though is that other theaters in the complex allow you to walk right in with no security at all. Not sure why they see the Buell as so much more dangerous then any other theater in their complex...(2) Late arriving patrons are seated in the middle of the show which interrupts the performance for those who know how to arrive on time....They should have a separate seating area for latecomers in the back of the theater and then allow them to go to their ticketed seats only at Intermission....(3) Food and drink should be allowed in the lobbies but not in the theaters themselves....slurping and crunching from some can be distracting from the show. Other then these few minor annoyances as stated the complex itself is great, staff is generally helpful and the shows that come in are usually very good.

Have been waiting for the Book of Mormon for months, when we ordered the tickets we requested Friday, for the tickets went tonight and sadly the tickets were for the wrong night. My mom started to cry, I went to the box office and said we made a terrible mistake. The rudest lady said to us “ well you can buy another set I asked her if they could do anything for the $290 we paid. She said sorry last nights show is no value to us. Wow!!!! No class I will never see a show here again. The Boulder Theatre is better anyway and the people have heart.

Excellent venue for plays and musicals

Very much enjoyed the performance of THE CONSTANT WIFE. If I make it back to Denver anytime soon, Ill definitely check out what is playing.

They have great shows, we all know this much. However when it comes time to do damage control for canceling a sold out show, they need to hire someone with customer service skills. The person in charge now is really lacking that customer portion of the skill set.I understand that the Phantom show experienced something to prevent it. However, when you dont provide information during the show and we are all waiting. Thats an issue. Then tell us to go out and spend more on your overprices beverages while waiting. Reeks of greed. Then have us wait even longer only to tell us to leave? Something stinks and you need to do a better job of managing this.I and so many others posting on facebook, news sites, etc were all expecting an actual response and a better handling of this issue. However when we called this AM, we were pretty much told that you do not care and will only refund the costs of the tickets. Poor poor customer service and way to represent our city. Nothing more than money in your pocket and not even worth of customer status it seems.

Not a bad seat in the house (space theatre). Delightful actors.

Awesome facilities and tons of talent make any show here worth the money!

I have season tickets. One of the best decision we have made. You get to see Broadway shows in a great atmosphere. I havent seen any of the local productions but I will definitely make an effort.

Worst center ever, doesnt have enough parking. I went 30 minute early and parking was full. Could not find any other parking and the alternative parking lot they provide charges 160USD for single parking.

One of the best placed in Denver! The shows are Great, the venues are great, the staff is friendly and nice. Traffic can suck in the parking garage if multiply shows let out at the same time, but such is life living in Denver traffic.

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts provides a variety of performances and performance venues. While including the familiar, they are leaders in bring new, innovative materials. It seems that they are constantly growing and expanding their role as a leader on the Denver area theatre scene. Visitors to the Denver area should definitely check out whats playing at the DCPA.

Notice all the positive ratings are about the actual productions. Now notice how bad every rating is that mentions the box office or DCPAs ticketing policies.Do with that information what you will.

I saw Secret Garden here and it was an AMAZING performance. The actors are very well practiced and the stage/effects were fantastic. I was expecting to see a play, but I saw a performance!

This is the place to go for local theater. They bring in many Broadway shows that are absolutely great. Also good for the ballet (which I dont care for) and an occasional concert. I saw Elton John here a couple of years ago and it was the best!

Had a great time at the garner galleria theater. parking was easy and not too expensive. The venue was clean and inviting. A terrific small theater where you can be right up by the action.

THE place in Denver to go to the theater. Musicals and plays from all over come to this location to perform. It is the place in Denver to go see your favorite Broadway show. It also is a great venue for many famous muscians. Elton John played here a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. Ive seen Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and other musical theater shows here. They also offer ballet and opera. Check it out for sure!

Ive been visiting DCPA since I was a little girl and have always looked forward to the day I could afford season tickets. This year was the year, and it has been a wonderful decision. They bring great shows with a lot of variety every season. Beyond that, yes the wait times for the box office are longer around busy sales days (duh!) but every person Ive dealt with at the box office has been incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. This consistent service has been a wonderful surprise. Also, of course parking can be time consuming but you just have to plan for that, Uber, or take public transit (plus, its really not that bad... no more than 20ish minutes; youll spend more time getting down Blake on a Rockies game day).The few negative reviews crack me up - I didnt get tickets to this show that literally everyone wanted tickets to...um yeah, nothing is guaranteed its called supply and demand or I bought tickets and couldnt attend because of a choice I made, and they didnt bend over backwards to fix my problem for me ... what if you scored Broncos tickets and then had other plans come up, do you expect they refund you or give you tickets to another game? Theyd rightfully laugh in your face, thats a you problem.

Evert show weve attended had been excellent. The people working the doors and counters always have a smile and are eager help.

Wonderful historic theater with all the modern amenities. The staff are great and they have world-class performances

Bought tickets to Book of Mormon 4mos in advance. Within those 4mos a family wedding was scheduled a day before the show in S.Carolina and I was required to attend. I was informed by DCPA that I could not reschedule without upgrading as all equivalently priced tickets were sold out. I scheduled a red eye flight the night of the wedding so I could make it in time. I left an hour after the evening reception (1am, no sleep that night) just so I could be back in DIA 5 hours before the show (didnt want to take any chances). Unfortunately American Airlines decides to stop functioning that day and I was put through 5 hours of delays. When my plane finally touched down in Denver I hurriedly called DCPA to inform them I couldnt make it. To avoid waiting for 30m for an operator and possibly missing the 2pm start time I left a message as I was exiting my plane.A day later and no calls back I called DCPA and was informed I could exchange my tickets for an upgraded ticket and pay the difference as all equally priced seats had sold out for the rest of the season. I ended the call to ask my wife if the date and price agreed with her. She agreed and I called back to pay the difference. Suddenly, DCPA decided I was SOL and that I would have to buy new tickets, no matter my situation or what I had previously been told, nothing we can do for you.I used to be involved in the theatre scene, but never delved into Denvers for a lot of reasons, mostly because the theater here prices out anyone who isnt *rich* and *white*. Ill just add another reason to the list. Thanks, DCPA, Ill never try this again. Enjoy my hard earned money.

DCPA is the non-profit theatre group that brings Broadway musicals, plays and special events to the downtown arts complex. Denver gets several first run events because of the great work done by this group.This should not be confused with the Denver Preforming Arts Complex, which is the physical venues.

Such a beautiful place to visit. I always walk by there and its definitely nice.

Great shows and fun date nights!

Take care. I am a subscriber to DCPA. #7625552. I experienced poor ticket service service online. A lot of confusion/lack of communication regarding tickets purchased end of March and not received. Only partial delivery.

Theater is kept super clean and surrounded by a fun atmosphere. While you wait for your entertainment to begin, the staff are more than happy to answer all and any questions you may have.

Went and saw A Christmas Carol and it was fantastic!! Had a great experience start to end!

I have aways enjoyed the shows here, but I try to avoid the parking garage as it can be a traffic nightmare when everyone leaves at once.

My friend and I have had season tickets for the Denver Center productions for many years. We love coming to these theaters.

Great venues for the fine arts. Denver always has some interesting play or musical in town. Check listings monthly and go see a show!

We are season tickets holders and have loved every play so far.

Great shows terrific ushers! Love this vibe!

Great place to see music plays etc. Right at the bottom of LODO. Lots of restaurants and shipping near by.

Beautiful theater and lovely experience. Remember there is the opportunity for drinks and snacks during intermission.

I appreciate the opportunity to see such high caliber theater and the wonderful ambience!

Had such a great time at the Christmas Carol last night! Beautiful costumes and very talented actors!

Just got off the phone with Brad, from the DCPA Boxoffice. Extremely aloof, haughty and uncaring, Im going to move my hard earned entertainment dollars elsewhere.

They have wonderful performances. I love the DCPA!

Currently under renovation, but a very friendly staff and amazing shows

Awesome place! I always forget how cool it is, between visits.

They have a great variety of shows, great midweek activity. You can even order drinks before the show that will be waiting for you at intermission

I have seen many a musical and play at this venue! It is beautiful and very upscale!

Always a great place for an opera, musical, stage play, or event. Next to many coffeeshops and restaurants and has a great view of Denver.

Outside & inside ushers were knowledable and very helpful in getting us to the right location. The atmosphere in each of the complex auiditorirum are always clean and has a warm inviting feeling. Get there early to get a parking spot. Elevators to the parking structure could be a tad faster. Spaces in the parking structure are skosh close for a full sized vehicle.

Denver always has the best muscials and plays. I always enjoy going to a show. I am never dissapointed.

Tried to buy discount tickets for A Christmas Carol. Started seeking tickets a little after 12 pm. Discounted tickets were not an option. When they were website was impossible to navigate. Says check seat did so nothing happened. About a half hour later think I discovered how but by then only single seats available. Need to get webpage folks on the ball.

The Denver Center for the Performing Art (DCPA) is a company/business that produces live theatre. It should not be confused with the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC), which is the complex of 10 performing arts venues located in Downtown Denver. The corporate offices of the DPCA are housed within the Robert and Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education at 1301 13th Street, Denver, Colorado 80204.

Really cool place with all theatrical options.

Home to the best productions in town! Check out the small comedy showcase next to the Opera House.

The best place in town for a night out.

I went there to see a Wally Long seminar. Facility with great people taking care of you the whole time Coffee never ran out what a great venue

Competition is fierce.

Nice place.

Attending the DS Summit. Fantastic amenities.

Every show Ive seen here has been great!

Beautiful facility, great shows.

Nice having the theater so close to home.

Saw A Christmas Carol at The Stage Theater, loved it!

A great clean place..

Arts are the best.

Their ticket process is just awful. Will not support.

Fun :3

Swan Lake Ballet was incredible!

Check out the calendar, everything that comes here is awesome

We always have a premium experience here at the Stage Theater!

Great parking for downtown, great theaters.

Denver

Great acting school!!

Great shows downtown

Nice venue, wish they had more staff working before events, long lines or long waits if you want a beer.

Always great shows

Great parking

Excellent theatre, music & dance.

Landmark for the denver area

The place to see live theatre!

Gorgeous venue.

Tap,tap,tap, to select seats they say!!,.....Edger A Poe would even tire of this.........

Parking staff are uneducated, untrained, and rude. The structure is falling apart and nothing is being done about it.

Great place for musicals and other plays.

Very cool location.
