The Savoy Denver could be the crown jewel of adaptable, intimate theaters. Located in the historic Curtis Park neighborhood, this Victorian gem, built in 1889, has been thoughtfully renovated to honor its rich history while serving the modern needs of the community. Its second floor, once a bustling social hall, has been transformed into a versatile space that hosts an array of theater companies while also serving as the permanent home of Theatre Artibus.

Vintage Theatre's Sophisticated Ladies did justice to Duke Ellington's legacy. Director and choreographer Christopher Page-Sanders, in conjunction with musical director Jodel Charles, crafted a spectacle that celebrated Black joy through the power of Ellington's music, set against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance. The choreography not only highlighted the ensemble's talent, but also conveyed themes of love, sexuality and life's pleasures.

Wonderbound has firmly established itself as a premier contemporary ballet company, as evidenced by its ambitious four-show 2023 season: Reckoning at the Red Herring Tavern, The Sandman, Wicked Bayou and Icy Haught. Under the artistic leadership of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay, this powerhouse, now celebrating its tenth season, creates collaborative artistic experiences that transcend the medium's boundaries and engage audiences in the exploration of the human experience. With a new permanent home at 3824 Dahlia Street, Wonderbound has both secured its future in the city and elevated its ability to produce captivating performances.
