The Arts Hub
About
Boulder County's Full-Stack Nonprofit Arts Center
The Arts Hub is Lafayette's only full-stack nonprofit arts center, established in 2007, with a 194-seat venue and year-round youth theater companies serving ages 6 through teens.
Age-Tiered Youth Theater Companies
Three semester-long company tracks plus auditioned advanced training serve every skill level from elementary first-timers up. Programs include:
- Rising Stars (ages 6-10, semester-long, open enrollment)
- Showstoppers (ages 11-16, semester-long, open enrollment)
- Thespians (ages 10+, year-long audition-based program)
- Summer theater camps
- Adult classes (parallel track)
What's Included
- 194-seat venue for student productions
- Open-enrollment companies (no audition for Rising Stars or Showstoppers)
- Multi-discipline arts center (theater alongside dance, visual arts, music)
- Year-round programming - kids don't aging out between summers
Experience
The open-enrollment model for younger companies makes this one of the easier entry points for kids who aren't sure about commitment yet, while the audition-based Thespians track gives serious teens a clear progression. The full-stack arts center context means kids see live theatre, music, and visual art under one roof.
