Historic Center Stage
Center Stage History
Center Stage dates back to 1924 when it was constructed by the Episcopal Church as a meeting house for summer music camps. Recognized as a Jefferson Country Landmark in 2021, and named as one of the top ten places in Colorado to see live theatre by Best Things Colorado, Center Stage is owned by Ovation West Performing Arts. It serves as the organization’s home base, and a venue for numerous local arts organizations, as well as a community gathering place. Over the years and to this day, regional and national artists include Center Stage on their performances tours.
OVATION WEST CONCERT SERIES - Formerly known as “Shining Stars,” the Ovation West Concert Series brings acclaimed regional and national performers to the intimate concert setting of Center Stage to tell the stories of humanity through a diverse array of musical genres. Past performers have included baritone Steven Taylor, the Patrick Lee Trio, Celtic band Colcannon, singer-songwriter Rob Drabkin, and the Thomas Dance Project. Our upcoming season features Grammy-award winner David Arkenstone and the world’s number one Elton John tribute band. Scroll down to see details.
