The city of Denver will host a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Crossroads Theatre to discuss future programming and operation of the theater in Five Points.
In December, the city’s Division of Theatres and Arenas signed a three-year contract to manage the financially troubled, 100-seat theater at 2590 Washington St.
The city will gather suggestions from business owners, neighbors, arts groups and members of the media to determine how the Five Points and local performing arts communities would like to see the space utilized.
“Theatres and Arenas intends to provide a venue where these communities can develop organic, sustainable programming that will enhance the cultural economy in Denver, while promoting and preserving the heritage of the neighborhood surrounding Crossroads Theatre,” said spokeswoman Jenny Schiavone.
