The Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has become one of the primary venues for local and regional theater as well as a fixture for theater education and for the promotion of the arts in the Denver community.
After a fire destroyed the historic Westport Presbyterian Church in 2011, the project team was contracted to build a modern place of fellowship while also respecting the history and architecture of the original 1905 Romanesque Revival structure.
The 13,000-sq-ft Nave is the primary entrance into a 1920s-era Gothic Revival building originally conceived by the university as a “cathedral of learning.”
