Wonderful place with historical significance. The architecture is from the 1800's but the inside is beautifully restored with the past and present on full display. They showed the Fellowship of The Ring tonight and we had to go support it. Will go again tomorrow for a play. Glad we found this gem!!

Reviews
Friendly, organized, and a great mix of old school with modern conviences. Finding plays like "Fly You Fools!" that a 55yo and 13yo can bond over... priceless. So... what's next? (and a special thank you to Ms. Kate as I would never have known about it without her).
I took my partner to his first Shakespeare here, The Merchant of Venice, cutest little theatre. Show up early and mingle with other patrons in the beautiful lounge. The show itself was very fun, they presented semi-improvisational; apparently in Shakespeares day, actors would receive their lines day of, so their performances were only rehearsed a few times before, so everything was fresh and silly. Do t miss this place, be sure to reserve a night to enjoy this amazing Theatre.
Went for a murder mystery dinner here at the Wright and it was an absolute delight. The food was lovely. Our host Kate was a wonderful MC and detective. Will definitely be back very very soon.
Iconic and recently restored venue which has something for everyone. Whether it’s a drink in the Tavern, programming in the theater (international film festival, melodrama, musical acts) or a community arts reception. They also have fundraising events including a 4th of July cornhole tournament which was a blast. A just-see when in Ouray!
