Founded by Jeffrey Nickelson in 1997, Shadow Theatre Company answered the artistic and spiritual necessity of creating an African American theatre for the Rocky Mountain region. Eleven years later, Shadow moved into a new state-of-the-art building, made possible in part through a partnership with the City of Aurora. Besides becoming Shadow's main performance venue, the new headquarters serves as an arts incubator for the local community. Shadow's performances continue to reflect upon the social morés of our time, challenging audience members to reconsider their own values, attitudes and actions.

In addition to our theatrical season, each summer Shadow provides an intensive, five-week artist-in-residence program for area youth that culminates in a full production led, produced, directed and performed by program participants. Shadow has presented 50 productions and received countless awards including the Mayors Award for Excellence in the Arts and numerous Denver Post Ovation Awards and nominations.
