SUPPORT CRT
Our 59th season is all about Discovery, whether you are discovering Creede and CRT for the first time or fiftieth, we cannot wait to share the magic 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 art 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!
