The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) was founded in 1972 and is dedicated to excellence in live theatre. DCPA is a multi-faceted theatrical hub for entertainment in the western region of the United States. The Denver Center presents world-class theatre and is a preferred stop for touring Broadway productions, a nurturing ground for new plays as well as home to an award-winning multi-media production facility. The Denver Center’s education department provides a national training school for actors of all ages and the National Center for Voice and Speech is the only facility in the world if its kind that is part of a performing arts organization.

DCPA is the largest tenant in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, which encompasses the 2700 seat Boettcher Concert Hall, home to the Colorado Symphony, two cabaret spaces, the Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex with four theatres, the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre and the Donald R. Sewell Grand Ballroom. In 2006, the newly renovated and historically renewed original Auditorium Theatre, the cornerstone of the complex, reopened to wide acclaim as the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

The Denver Center Theatre Company (DCTC) was created in 1979 and is the region’s largest resident professional theatre company. In 1998, the DCTC was awarded a Tony Award® for Outstanding Regional Theatre.

Denver Center Attractions (DCA) presents touring Broadway shows. Disney’s The Lion King and the revival of Hello Dolly with Carole Channing are only two of the large scale productions that have chosen Denver as a “pick” touring city because of the enthusiastic support and consistently impressive attendance records.

A new coat of paint can make a room cozy and welcoming without breaking the bank.

Take time when choosing your paint colors.  Decicde what colors will match your existing furniture and observe how the paint color looks at different parts of the day.  Choose several swatches at the store and compare in your home.  Don’t choose a color because it is “different” and catches your eye at the store.  Can you live with “different” for an extended period of time?

Preparation is imperative!  Cover floors and furniture, strip away old peeling paint, clean the walls and patch holes and cracks.  You will be more satisfied with the painting results.

The more extra effort and thought put into your painting decision the happier you will be in the long run.

“After finding the potential problem with our property, we appreciated how you arranged an escrow to make sure it was taken care of after closing.  You went the extra mile with a smile.”

Make Each Room Your Own!

Give each room your own personal touch.  Make it your own by placing  a personal item  that has meaning and reflects you.  Add a photo, plant,  something whimsy, something that just doesn’t quite fit, a little unusual that will personalize the room.  This will add comfort and perhaps be a conversation starter.
