DENVER — A thief or group of thieves stole hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol and other concessions from the Historic Elitch Theatre this week in a daring break-in that involved kicking in a door on the rooftop of the 133-year-old building.
The foundation’s board president, Greg Rowley, told Denver7 in an email that he believes the crooks may have climbed the outside of the wooden theatre building to break in through a door to the theatre dome, used primarily for putting up and taking down the rooftop flag. Ultimately, a board member reported eight cases of alcohol had been stolen from a storage area inside the theatre. No vandalism or significant damage was done to the building, according to the foundation.
The theatre, which was built in 1891, claims to be “Denver’s oldest cultural venue” and hosted theater performances for nearly 100 yearson the original Elitch Gardens property near 38th and Tennyson in northwest Denver. It was shuttered for decades before a recent revival attempt by the foundation.
