Work with Us
Founded in 1966, Creede Repertory Theatre (CRT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit professional theatre company located at 9,000ft in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.
CRT serves as an artistic home to our rural community and beyond through the creation of engaging repertory seasons performed across two venues between May and September; dynamic educational programs which impact over 35,000 students each year; and compelling new works through our Headwaters New Play Program.
The Denver Post named CRT as “among the top five theatres in the state;” USA Today has called CRT “one of the top ten theatres to see the lights way off Broadway;” and in 2021, the New York Times featured Creede Rep on the cover of its Sunday Art & Leisure section, touting it as the “triumph of the Friday night footlights.”
CRT does not respond to unsolicited play, audition, or resume submissions. We only have the capacity to respond to submissions for open positions listed below. Thank you for your understanding.
