 Outdoor theater performances |
East Colfax Avenue & Broadway (Civic Center Park) Denver, CO 80205 United States +1 303 770 2106 http://www.theaterinthepark.org |
Theater in the Park is one of those free annual events that makes Denver so special in the summer. In 1989, the theater troop began holding performances in the Greek Amphitheater in Civic Center Park. This historic relic from Denver's early boom days had been standing empty since the 1950s until the productions revived the theater. The performances have ranged from children's shows to ballet. However, the theater group generally likes to stick with old favorites. Review © 2007, Wcities |
