It was built in the 1920s but later revitalized in 1998. Since the theater re-opened in 1998, it has held an abundance of events, ranging from local concerts to private events and film showcases. HistoryThe Gothic Theatre was created in the 1920s. Currently it is used as a concert venue; however, when it first opened it was used as a movie theater.[2] It was the first location in Denver to show talkies.[3] The theater quickly became a popular entertainment destination among local society. The Gothic’s distinguished art decoration and architecture also provided a scene of interest to many people. The rounded walls and recessed inlets are still present today, providing a historical touch. In the 1940s, the Gothic experienced a change of ownership.[3] As a result, the exterior was changed to conform to modern times. As time passed the Gothic had many different owners, each struggling to gain success with the theater. Eventually the place was shut down. RestorationIn 1988, two friends, both of whom had a passion for music, restored the Gothic, surpassing its original design and entering the venue to the ranks of the most renowned theaters in Colorado.[4] They bought the building out of bankruptcy, ultimately saving it from demolition. Deciding to keep the historical interior, they rebuilt the theater from the foundation to the roof.[3] Additionally, they hired designers and artists to help remodel certain aspects that fit into their vision. Now the theater has a fresh paint scheme, newly made wrap-around balcony, and a renovated marquee. People who have attended the theater have claimed that the Gothic is “probably the best local music venue in terms of light, size and sound.”[4] Another reviewed that it is “a relatively intimate concert venue.”[4] AEG Live began managing the venue in 2013.[5] Notable showsThe Gothic has hosted many distinguished shows since its opening. Local bands as well as nationally recognized bands have showcased their talent. A few of the more noteworthy musicians and bands that have played at The Gothic are Beastie Boys, Ministry, Thrill Kill Kult, KMFDM, Violent Femmes, Skinny Puppy, Phish, Death Cab for Cutie, BoomBox, Built To Spill, The Fray, Milkman, Broken Bells, Dr. Dog, Pretty Lights, The Cranberries, All Time Low, Ingrid Michaelson, Lady Gaga, Pat Benatar, Three Six Mafia, Gavin Rossdale (of Bush), Cold War Kids, The Wallflowers, Rise Against, Blue Öyster Cult, The Black Keys, Nirvana, JoJo and The Cramps. In addition to bands, The Gothic also showcases screenings of different films such as the Teton Gravity Research Ski/Snowboard Movie Premiere of The Tangerine Dream and The 48 Hour Film Project. Comedy tours like that of Michael Ian Black have also played at The Gothic. As a small local venue, The Gothic also consistently is home to local battle of the bands shows.[6] Production informationThe Gothic is located on Denver’s historic South Broadway Street, and has a capacity of just less than 1000. It offers a full bar, a standing room only section as well as a seated section. All tickets, however, are sold as general admission.[7] Included in the theater is a 20-foot retractable movie screen with a projector. The stage is 25 feet by 18 feet, with 19 feet of space from the stage to the lighting truss.[7] Despite liquor being banned at all ages concerts in the city of Denver, The Gothic can still sell alcohol at all of their shows due to their Englewood location.[2] See also
