A Sad Week

The cultural community and friends of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) are saddened by the loss of two good friends and champions.

Randy Weeks, who brought Broadway to Denver, with his mentor Robert Garner, dedicated
countless hours to the success and continuation of the unique and nationally recognized SCFD.

Henry Lowenstein, a leader of the Denver theater community for half a century, was one of the earliest advocates for dedicated funding for the region’s cultural facilities and programs, which was realized in the SCFD.

Henry Lowenstein
They will be missed.
