Avenue Theater, Downtown theater in Denver, United States.
The Avenue Theater is a performance venue in Denver housed in a building with classic architectural details dating from the early 20th century. The space features modern stage equipment and is fully accessible for patrons with disabilities.
The theater was established in 1985 by Robert Wells at East 17th and Vine before relocating to its current location and reopening in 2001 after a period of closure. This move marked a turning point in its revival as an active venue in the city.
The theater serves as a gathering place for the local arts community and hosts diverse performances ranging from comedy to drama throughout the year. Visitors discover both emerging and established artists who bring variety and creativity to the stage here.
The venue offers convenient parking nearby and is easy to reach on foot, especially when using public transportation to get there. It is helpful to check the event calendar before your visit to plan which performance you would like to attend.
Radio Avenue, a monthly live comedy show, broadcasts directly from the theater on KGNU radio. This distinctive connection between stage and radio makes the space a notable destination for improv comedy fans.
