AWARD-WINNING
THEATRICAL
ENTERTAINMENT
"Of the eight upstart companies, the most ambitious by far has been Julia Tobey's new Give 5 Productions.
Her very first offering in 2022– a stage adaptation of the movie “Footloose” –
was staged at the 500-seat PACE Center in Parker and earned nine nominations from the
Colorado Theatre Guild's
annual Henry Awards."

Television will make you rich;
But theatre will make you good.”
A Brief History
Founded in 2007 in New York City, Julia Tobey started out by producing and booking small holiday vocal ensembles. That same year, Macy's Herald Square engaged her to produce the holiday entertainment for their season and she never looked back.
​
G5 Projects, ensembles and shows have been established in NYC,
Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Denver with clients all over the world.
​
We have produced for corporate and private clients,
non-profit organizations, cities, television programs, arts centers,
cruise ships, retail centers, cabarets, casinos and much more.
​
Post-pandemic, the company is laser-focused on elevating
theater and performing arts across the great state of Colorado.
​
We are currently nomadic but are seeking a permanent theater "home".

“Live like you’ll die tomorrow, work like you don’t need the money,
and dance like nobody’s watching.”
Inclusivity with intention​
​
Since the beginning, Give 5 Productions has
loudly and proudly established itself as an inclusive company.
Not only do we invite folks from varying backgrounds
into our community, we lift them up and celebrate them.
​
We strive to create shows and creative processes that are welcoming and affirming of all identities - including but not limited to: race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,
national origin, religion, disability, etc.
We intentionally go out of our way to cast diverse casts and break molds,
regardless of how roles have been cast historically.
We believe each person has something truly unique to offer this world,
and we highly encourage everyone to audition for us,
attend our shows and become a part of our community.
- Caroline Belden
“Equality is leaving the door open for anyone who has the means to approach it; equity is ensuring there is a pathway to that door for those who need it.”
​
Our Vision​
​
We are envisioning an extraordinary, trailblazing venue—an inclusive, transformative hub where the power of the performing arts uplifts everyone.
Set to become a vibrant community cornerstone in Denver, CO, this space will foster essential connection and support, with a strong focus on LGBTQ, BIPOC, women, and other marginalized communities.
​
This venue will feature inviting gathering spaces, theaters, and a flexible multi-use area with adaptable seating, designed to host a diverse array of events.
Weekly live shows in each theater will showcase partnerships with established theatrical, cabaret, and drag producers, ensuring a
dynamic and powerful lineup.
