Unfortunately, the reality is that alcohol related accidents happen all too often. The risk, exposure and consequences of such accidents are assumed by the alcohol license-holder. For events at the Wright, this means that the Wright is on the hook and is entirely liable. We expect that renting organizations will recognize and respect that the policies in place are intended to provide a safe environment and to reduce the Wright’s exposure.

Problems at an event are not usually caused by one factor, but a combination of factors. Giving full attention to the role of alcohol in planning, policies and procedures for your event will help minimize the associated risks.

Note that acknowledgement and acceptance of these guidelines in no way forfeits the Wright’s authority to manage alcohol consumption at the Wright Opera House. The staff, board and any individual designated as a representative of the Wright have final authority at all times.

We're working hard to make the Wright Opera House an open and welcoming venue to organizations throughout Colorado. We're also trying to restore a facility that is over 126 years old.
