The Wright Recommends
Although our doors are open, we understand that not all audiences are ready to venture indoors to watch a film. Luckily, being at home doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the magic of the movies! So if you would rather be entertained from the safety of your home, or if you are simply looking to stay in tonight, our staff and Board of Directors have put together a list of recommendations for your enjoyment. We hope you like these films as much as we do!

A Historic Masterpiece
Built by the Wrights to counter some aspects of the mining culture, the Wright Opera House was intended to be the center of culture and arts for all of Ouray County. Now nearing a complete renovation, the Wright is fulfilling its mission as the premier performing arts venue and historic center in Ouray County.
Original Main Stage Curtain
While we are unclear on who the painter of the Curtain is, we know that it is of a William H. Jackson photograph. When The Friends of the Wright purchased the building in 2011, two main stage curtains were discovered in the basement - The Original and The Second. The Original curtain is in a delicate state of disrepair and cannot withstand the wear and tear of constant display. The Second curtain, however, is hung on the south wall of the Theatre.
