The Denver Crossroads Theater

Small cozy venue with very good local plays.

Just went to Rocky Horror this week and it was great! The small theater experience is just more fun. Check it out!

intimate space, a bar, awesome location right on the lightrail, we enjoyed the play and the staff was very friendly.

I came here for a production of Rocky Horror Show and was unimpressed. Sure they don’t have much of a budget but a little bit of some kind of stage set up would have been nice. Nope, what we got was a few pieces of wood nailed together so the actors could put their heads through. I’ve seen better stage productions at a Rocky Horror Picture Show on a midnight showing.
I did like the fact that this used to be an old movie theater. You can only have about 70 people inside to watch the production so it’s very intimate… sadly it wasn’t worth the $ 15 spent to see it.

Saw standup comedian Colin Kane here. I think it was the wrong venue, but it is a nice enough facility, but it just didn’t seem to work for showcasing comedians.

This is a cute little theatre in a part of the up and coming five points neighborhood. I went there for the burlesque show and I think it’s a great little theatre with a fun ambiance and nice people that work there. Running right now on Wednesdays was a Moulin Rouge music themed burlesque show which was defninetely entertaining. In a couple of weeks there will be an Elvis themed show! Love it.
A couple of tips — the address is on Washington but it is closest to the intersection of 27^th and Welton. Both my friend and I each drove around for awhile after my GPS told me I had arrived when I clearly had not. I had no problem finding free metered parking since all meters there are free after 6 pm. Also they do not have a liquor license so during intermission, everyone goes to Cervantes across the street and get a drink and then drinks it fast! Just warning you :) A burlesque performance is I think frequently better enjoyed with a libation or two after all.
Support this theatre as it is a little diamond in the rough!

I didn’t even know this theater existed until last week when I attended the Fresh film screening. Apparently they do lots of plays, photography exhibits, poetry slams and so on. It’s a cute theater, a bit on the smaller side, but that adds to its charm. There isn’t a bad seat in the house.
The people that were here the day I came were super friendly and offered up wine, beer and water for a nominal fee. There weren’t any snacks, but Zona’s Tamales are just across the street if you find yourself in need of a bite to eat. And I give a bonus star for free garage parking just behind the theater.

As a performer here I may be biased. I love this theater. They offer many different performing arts and something is going on most nights of the week. There is great parking available and the director treats the performing groups very well. The theatre itself is intimate and classy and showcases local artists’ work in the lobby.
Support the arts and check out Embrujo Flamenco and the Crossroads Theater!!!

The Denver Crossroads Theater has been long in coming. Talk about a vision finding fruition. Kurt Lewis, the executive Director has spoken about the convergence of arts and talents and neighborhoods for many years and it has finally found it’s light.
A charming corner spot with the light of new life, in an old neighborhood. It is at a major RTD stop with underground parking as well.
The building has been completely renovated and houses local art in the lobby.
You really have to check out the website to understand what types of things they are up to, dance, live spoken word, live music… it’s beautiful. They have ongoing theater events, as well as «Wednesday Night at Crossroads» which is a variety of arts (scheduled and in an open mike environment).
I am seeing a vison of «the little theater that could». Talk about supporting local arts!
