DCPA Gala: Saturday Night Alive 2027

Saturday Night Alive returns to the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, March 13, 2027. It's the DCPA's signature fundraising gala, and it's built around Art Deco elegance—the kind of night where you actually have a reason to dress up. The tradition goes back to 1981, and since that first gala, the event has raised more than $25 million to bring theatre to students across Colorado. That money funds Theatre for Young Audiences performances, scholarships, school matinees, and classroom programs.

The evening pairs live performances by acclaimed artists with DCPA student artists, so you'll see established names sharing the stage with the next generation. Around that, there's ballroom dining, cocktails, and late-night dancing to a live jazz band, plus a high-end silent auction. It's a full night—dinner, show, and dancing all in one room.

If you're looking to do more than just buy a ticket, sponsorships and tables of ten are available through the gala's contact, Megan Stewart. The whole thing takes place at the Seawell Ballroom, part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, on Saturday, March 13.
