SUPPORT CRT
As our 60th Anniversary Season approaches, we invite you to dream with us…
Whether you have been with us from the begining or are joining us for the first time, we cannot wait to share the joy of theatre at 9,000ft with you!
Ticket sales only cover a portion of the cost to run our theatre and educational programs. The balance comes from business sponsors, foundations, and generous contributions from superfans like you. Through attending performances, volunteering, bringing others to CRT, and making financial donations, you make magic possible in our little mountain town. However you choose to participate, we’re grateful for your investment in Creede and Creede Repertory Theatre. Thank you for all you allow us to do!
