The Oriental Theater is a historic theater and live entertainment venue in Denver, opened in 1927 and distinguished by its Exotic Revival-inspired architecture. Today it accommodates up to 707 guests, or up to 575 people in a fully seated configuration, giving performances a more intimate atmosphere than large arenas. Over the decades, the former neighborhood movie theater has evolved into a venue for concerts, comedy, film screenings and a broad range of live performances.
Inside, the theater combines multi-level seating, a spacious main floor and a balcony with more than one hundred seats. Its original auditorium was designed in an era before modern amplified sound systems, and the shape of the room still contributes to its distinctive acoustic character. A bar and flexible seating arrangements allow the venue to adapt its atmosphere to different types of events.
The theater is located at 4335 W 44th Ave, Denver, United States, in the Tennyson Art and Business District. RTD bus route 44 stops directly in front of the venue, providing convenient access close to the entrance.
