MISSION STATEMENT

Vintage Theatre is an award-winning performing arts theatre in the heart of Aurora Cultural Arts District. For over 20 years, Vintage has offered programming that delights, challenges, and entertains our audiences. We produce blockbuster Broadway favorites on our 145-seat main stage, regional premieres, intimate dramas, and off-beat comedies in our 67-seat black box theatre, and a wide variety of cabaret performances on our cabaret stage.

Vintage Theatre is proud to be an active community member by providing educational programming and outreach, touring neighboring communities, and producing a New Play Festival to develop new work and engage the audience through ongoing dialogue with us. As a diverse community, we recognize that theatre is a force for change and are committed to welcoming and including the voices of all people in our storytelling and work.

HISTORY

Vintage Theatre was founded by Craig Bond, Debbie Laureta, Chris Goranson, Lindsay Sanders Goranson and David Trimble in August 2002, over martinis. This evening spent with friends launched our mission to bring the best quality theatre to the Front Range! We entered our space on 17th Avenue in 2008 and remained there for four years as we grew our company artistically. In March 2012, we relocated to our new location at 1468 Dayton Street, joining the Aurora Arts Cultural District.

We staged two shows the first year—nine in 2012—and now have three performance spaces under one roof with the Jeffrey Nickelson Auditorium (145 seats), the Bond Trimble Theatre (67 Seats) and the Berg-Young Cabaret Stage (60 seats). All areas are completely sound proofed, air conditioned, provide a full bar service and of course, free parking!

Vintage has performances most Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, and has received several Henry Award nominations, Post Ovation Awards, Flombies and Marlowe Awards in the last decade.
