Arvada Center Theatre

Onstage at the Center

Soul-stirring plays, dazzling musical theatre, and colorful productions just for kids. Find inspiration and escape from the everyday with theatre at the Arvada Center.

For 50 years, the Arvada Center has presented award-winning theatre that connects us, delights us, opens our minds and expands our worlds. As we tell stories this season, we hope you join us to feel, think, and learn together. The audience is the real magic of live theatre and nothing we do comes to life without you.

Between our 500-seat Main Stage theatre and intimate Black Box Theatre, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Theatrical productions at the Center are designed, staged and built from the ground up by a talented team of artists and designers.
