Wheat Ridge Theatre Company Closes, Citing Financial Struggles Amid Denver’s Theater Crisis

After moving into a permanent space in 2022, the community theater company announced that it would be leaving its home in Wheat Ridge's Chase Plaza at the end of the year.

“We’re behind in rent, and unfortunately, public funding isn’t available to us for another two years,” Garcia shares."Many of the grants are only available to companies after five years of nonprofit status, which we achieved in 2022, so we will not be able to access SCFD and Colorado Gives Day funds until January 2027."

"Since last September, all of the board members have begun to feel the financial struggle, which has caused stress in all of us," Garcia says."Many of the members of the board of directors jumped in and took over more responsibilities. But we all got tired of taking on more because we all have jobs and other responsibilities, and it became more stressful.

"People have approached us saying, 'Please tell me you are not closing,'" Naumoff says."A lot of people have been saying to us, 'You can't leave; you're the only theater near us.'"
