ORIENTAL THEATER UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
The Oriental Theater has new owners and a new community mission.
The management of the Oriental Theater (4335 West 44th Avenue) has changed hands. The owners of 3 Kings Tavern, whod operated the historic 700-person venue for the past year, signed a deal last week with Absolutely Huge Entertainment, which will take over the place. Headed by Anna Muniz, who has more than twenty years experience in the bar and entertainment industry, the Absolutely Huge group includes Joe Hendricks, who ran the Fallen Warehouse for three years, Forth Yeer guitarist Jerry Cass, Scott LaBarbera, and Brad Sandler, owner of the Green Door Living real estate company, whod previously partnered with LaBarbera at the Oriental.
Our mission is to be the greatest community-oriented venue on the planet, Muniz proclaims. Were going to donate proceeds from a minimum of one show a month to a local charity. Were going to have kids shows and family shows, anything anyone wants to put in there. We just want to produce a venue that everyone can be a part of, no matter who they are.
And by everyone, Muniz really means everyone. Absolutely Huge plans to bring in everything from salsa to blues acts to bigger local bands.
We kind of have similar visions of what I was doing, explains LaBarbera, who operated the Oriental from 2005 to 2009. Keeping a diverse music schedule, a neighborhood theme and family-oriented. Run it the way I was doing it before, but with a little more help.
But first, Absolutely Huge plans to do some cosmetic work on the venue, then get started on more major upgrades after they get the okay of George Sager, whos owned the Oriental for years. (He also owned the Gothic back in the 80s.) “Were going to go revive that place and make her beautiful again,” Muniz says, adding that theyll keep her beautiful, too: We will have the cleanest bathroom in Denver or not open the door.
