DCPA Announces 2022/23 Theatre Company Lineup

Listen up, Denver and Colorado theater lovers: Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) Theatre Company has announced the 2022/23 season for the producing regional theater arm of the DCPA! The new season kicks off with performances on September 9, with seven main stage productions including the musical, The Color Purple, Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, and a new production of The 39 Steps.

The DCPA is one of the largest nonprofit theater organizations in the nation. In its 2019/20 season, the DCPA engaged with more than 672,000 visitors and generated a $131 million economic impact in ticket sales alone.

Looking ahead to the next year, DCPA Theatre Company Artistic Director Chris Coleman says that this season is “filled with celebration.”

“Celebrating the artists on and off stage, celebrating stories that everyone can see themselves in, and celebrating the return of live performances,” Coleman says. “Audiences will get to experience classic productions that they know and love, as well as, hear new stories from emerging playwrights.”
