16th Annual Henry Awards

The Colorado Theatre Guild’s 16th Annual Henry Awards will take place the evening of Monday July 25, 2022 at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities beginning at 7:00 PM. Please note: Face masks are required inside the theatre during this event.

There are in-person and streaming options for tickets, and there will be catered heavy hors d’oeuvres after the show. CTG members should contact the Box Office by phone at 720-898-7200 to purchase discounted tickets.

Established in 2006, the Henry Awards honor outstanding achievements during the past season and serves as one of the Colorado Theatre Guild's annual fundraising events. The awards are named for longtime local theatre producer Henry Lowenstein. Nominations are determined through a judging process conducted by more than 100 statewide peer professionals, academics/ educators, and theatre aficionados.

“Few people have had as much impact on theater in Denver — or the lives of theater people in Denver — as Henry Lowenstein, who ran Denver Post publisher Helen Bonfils' crown jewel on East Colfax and Elizabeth Street until the theater closed in 1986. He discovered new talent. He launched careers. He encouraged women and people of color. For hundreds of thousands of Coloradans, the Bonfils served as their first experience in live theater.”
