Best Movie Theater — Comfort - 2013

Time is on the Boedecker's side: The intimate, state-of-the-art film palace opened at the Dairy Center just two years ago, so it includes the most modern of amenities. Its sixty seats are plush rockers, each with four feet of leg room, and the theater also boasts 5.1 Surround Sound and HD DLP projection that rival better sophisticated home-theater equipment. Throw in a well-plotted schedule, with films ranging from hard-to-find classics to more recent must-sees, as well as a sprinkling of live opera broadcasts, themed series and a concession counter that sells beer and wine, and you've got a night out that's more comfortable than the one you might spend on your own couch.

Just Imagine...

As the evening ends and audiences leave the magical experience of performance or exhibition, instead of being confronted with a cinderblock wall and a cramped exit, they emerge to Colorado's night sky. Artists, students and audiences linger indoors and out in a seamless surrounding that extends and prolongs the artistic experience. People gather and commune. The full power of art is given the space to blossom.

The Dairy Center for The Arts has a long and beloved history in our community. With your help, the best is yet to come.
