There's no doubt that the Historic Elitch Theatre has an important place in Denver history; after opening in 1897, the venue hosted such venerable names as Patty Duke, Grace Kelly, Ginger Rogers, Vincent Price, Dick Van Patten...the list goes on, and so could we. The theater has been under renovation since 2006, but there is still a need for funds to help restore it to its former glory.

That's where you come in: From 6 to 8 p.m. tonight, Lola, 1575 Boulder Street, will host a tequila tasting to benefit the theater; $40 nets you samples of Proxima tequila, plus appetizers and desserts. Reserve a spot at 720-570-8585 or e-mail [email protected].
