Historic Elitch Theatre

The Elitch Theatre has been a vital part of Colorado’s cultural landscape since its inception in 1891. As one of Colorado’s first cultural centers, the Elitch Theatre was home to the oldest summer stock theatre in America and hosted the screening of Colorado’s first moving picture in 1896. Legends of American theater performed on this stage — Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Grace Kelly, and Edward G. Robinson, are among the alumni of the Historic Elitch Theatre. Today, the 130-year old Theatre has returned as a hub for culture, arts, and theatre, in Denver. With several major restorations over the past 15 years, the theater is hosting movie nights, tours, and community events.
