Buntport Theater

Buntport Theater Company is a collaborative ensemble theater company in Denver creating original works and adaptations without designated writers, directors or designers. Founded in 1998 by seven Colorado College graduates, the company operates from a converted warehouse black box theater in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District.

The five-member ensemble works collaboratively on all aspects of production, from writing and directing to performing, technical work and administration. Since 2000, Buntport has staged over 50 mainstage productions and 100 episodes of live sitcoms including “Magnets on the Fridge” (five seasons) and “Starship Troy” (three seasons). The company also produces tRUNks, a family-friendly live comic book show performed on alternate Saturdays.
