Elitch Theatre

The Historic Elitch Theatre is a summer stock theatre located at the original Elitch Gardens site in northwest Denver, Colorado. Opened in 1890, it was Denver's first professional theatre, serving as the home to America's first and oldest summer-stock theatre company from 1893 until the 1960s. The f

irst films in the western US were shown there in 1896. Cecil B. DeMille sent yearly telegrams wishing the theatre another successful season, calling it "one of the cradles of American drama."
