Live Theatre

Founded in 1966, Creede Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company located at 9,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.

CRT’s award-winning company produces big-city quality productions in this spectacular location from May through September. Each season, CRT produces 7-10 plays in rotating repertory, hosts numerous musical events and concerts, develops new works through the Headwaters New Play Program, and offers nationally recognized educational programming.

The theatre is only one of very few in the country that caters to a repertory schedule. Repertory, by definition, means, “A type of theatrical presentation in which a company presents several works regularly or in alternate sequence in one season.” This sets the Repertory theatre apart from the rest and adds a unique, ever-changing flare to what Creede has to offer.

This season’s offerings include a variety of shows! CRT offers several ticket deals when purchased for multiple plays, which is the most recommended way to enjoy the multitude of shows they have to offer. All information on how to buy tickets and passes is available on CRT’s website, creederep.org, or by giving them a call at (719)658-2540.

For families with young ones, CRT’s robust Education Department offers Summer Day Camps. Children learn from acclaimed Teaching Artists in the areas of storytelling, puppetry, musical theatre, and - for teenagers - improvisational comedy.  CRT also offers a Playwriting class for adults. All information about camps can be found on the Education Department’s website at creederep.org/education.

For younger artists, CRT offers day camps for students ages 3+ throughout the month of June. In July, the annual KID Show program dazzles audiences with a world premiere production created by students ages 10-18 in just under three weeks. On Labor Day Weekend, catch the Young Audience Outreach Tour, an original bilingual musical, before it hits the road for performances in 7 states, reaching 185 schools and 35,000 K-6th grade students.

All of this along with special concert events, CRT’s widely appreciated improv comedy show Boomtown!, talkbacks with CRT’s company, and the Cliffside Patio make for a magical, unsurpassed experience not to be missed. Come enjoy a show, go for a hike, enjoy one of Creede’s marvelous, unique restaurants, and then see another show! We can’t wait to see you.
