Top Small Theater Companies In Denver

The Denver Center pretty much holds the lead when it comes to BIG theater companies in Denver, but never underestimate the power of the small – those companies that have tiny budgets and a lot of volunteers. They are powered by a love of the theater that simply cannot be ignored.

The Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Actors League has been around for more than twenty years, creating opportunities for performance and production, but also creating a marvelous theater company for the city.
