A building housing a popular dinner theater in Boulder has found a buyer for $5.6 million.
Located at 5501 Arapahoe Avenue on the east side of Boulder, the nearly 12,000 square foot structure includes a lobby, office, theater space with just under 300 seats, dressing rooms, and front covered walkway, among other amenities.
The Boulder Dinner Theater has offered food and drink, as well as a variety of plays, shows, and musical events, on a year-around basis, since 1977. It was lauded by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for having a “purpose-built space that arranges tables on tiers surrounding a thrust stage.”
The theater was closed for several months in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid 19 outbreak.
Sitting on a 1.4-acre lot, the building is located on a block populated with mostly one-story commercial structures.
The structure has been purchased by a group listed as Arapahoe Investors, LLC, which is connected to the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based commercial real estate firm First Martin Corporation.
According to press accounts, the building will continue as the home of the Boulder Dinner Theater for the foreseeable future.
