Welcome to our 50th Anniversary Theatre Season!

Live theatre is one of the few places where we come together with strangers to witness something special. This season, you're invited to see, hear, and feel the power of live theatre - something that can only truly be experienced together. 

For 50 years, the Arvada Center has presented award-winning theatre that connects us, delights us, opens our minds and expands our worlds. As we tell stories this season, we hope you join us to feel, think, and learn together. The audience is the real magic of live theatre and nothing we do comes to life without you.

Laugh, think, feel, and celebrate with us as we present our 50th anniversary season. Season ticket packages are on sale now! 

Single tickets for all 5 titles are on sale today.

ROMEO & JULIET

February 13 - March 29, 2026

By William Shakespeare

After a chance meeting, a forbidden romance is ignited between two young lovers. In their parents’ world of violent ends, Romeo and Juliet manage to forge a connection across enemy lines. 

Romeo and Juliet is both a beautiful and poetic love story and a relevant, cautionary tale about the price of division and hate. In this contemporary production of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, an ensemble cast explores how all - especially the young - are punished when grudges and violence are the only language that those in power understand.

COME FROM AWAY

Come From Away show art

March 27 - May 10, 2026

By Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Based on an extraordinary true story, Come From Away chronicles how the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. Filled with traditional Irish folk music and stirring ballads, this breathtaking musical is a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

An average day turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
