Davenport Theatrical Enterprises was founded in 2004 by Tony Award-winning Broadway and Off-Broadway Producer Ken Davenport. The company’s first production was the Off-Broadway interactive show The Awesome 80s Prom, which ran for 10 years. It was followed by the Off-Broadway shows Altar Boyz (Outer Critics Circle Award, Best Musical) and My First Time, which has been seen in over 20 countries worldwide. Since then, Broadway productions have included Deaf West’s Spring Awakening, It’s Only a Play, Macbeth with Alan Cu***ng, Kinky Boots (Tony Award), and Godspell, among many others. Off-Broadway productions have included That Bachelorette Show and Daddy Long Legs. Since its inception, Davenport Theatrical Enterprises has expanded to include DTE Management, a general management division for both Broadway and Off-Broadway; the group sales agency Your Broadway Genius Group Sales; and several other projects, including Be A Broadway Star, the only Broadway-themed board game; and Did He Like It?, the review aggregating website and smartphone app. In 2014, Davenport Theatrical Enterprises acquired the Davenport Theatre, which is housed in a remodeled firehouse conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan’s theater district. The Davenport Theatre complex is home to a 149-seat main stage theatre, which is the only jewel box in midtown, as well as a 60-seat black box theatre. The Producer’s Perspective, Ken’s daily blog on Broadway producing, has been featured in Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, and more.
