Through these experiences and alongside our robust Education program, we engage hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

The DCPA’s workforce includes more than 300 employed team members in non‑union and union positions (in partnership with seven unions). In addition, we employ hundreds of artists and contractors annually. We have a strong volunteer program which includes more than 300 volunteers.

As a leading cultural organization in the Rocky Mountain West, we are actively participating in the cultural evolution of belonging and anti‑racism. Our commitment to reflect the diversity and priorities of our community — in our workplace, audience and programming — has never been more present.

We believe that the theatre can transform us — and be transformed by us. We invite you to be part of our Team.
