A Denver theater company has listed its Golden Triangle converted church for sale, months after the company reported being in a “financial crisis.”
Curious saw $1.37 million in revenue in fiscal year 2022 with about $1.19 million in expenses, according to tax filings. In fiscal year 2023, Curious was in the red, with $960,000 in total revenue and nearly $1.3 million in expenses. The building, about 9,500 square feet, was originally built for the Swedish Evangelical Free Church in the late 1800s and was later used by other churches, including the Upper Room United Pentecostal Church through 1995.
Though the space was already built out as a theater when Curious Theatre bought it, the nonprofit renovated the front entrance lobby, built accessible bathrooms and had to update or replace plumbing, lighting, the boiler and roof. The upkeep, Bragg said, was just too much.
