Description

In Crested Butte Mountain Theatre's 34 year history, we have produced close to 200 plays. For a complete list of plays, click here. CBMT continues to offer a creative outlet for diversely talented people in the community: actors, writers, directors, dancers, artists, musicians, crafts people, technicians, and more. We attempt to involve as many people as possible who have the energy, desire, and much-cherished sense of community. Although some may say they also need to "find the time" to get involved, we find that time seems to find them if their heart is willing. CBMT repays the community's overwhelming trust and support with quality entertainment throughout the year and through its community outreach programs, including Teens on Stage.

Through its Arts in Education Program, CBMT is committed to bringing Crested Butte's next generation into the theatre. Youth theatre programs are aimed at exposing children to a wide range of ideas and experiences while insuring future participation in the theatre both on and off the stage. It's no secret that the arts in education programs are being cut dramatically throughout the country; nor is it any surprise that a community like Crested Butte is able to see a lack of education for their children and find the wherewithal to address that lack of their own volition. The Mountain Theatre's support of these programs through the Community School Drama Club and Teens on Stage Program has resulted in critically acclaimed productions of Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet Prince of Denmark, Shakespeare to Seinfeld, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Moliere's The Learned Ladies, and O'Brien's The Disappearance of Daniel Hand.

And since history continues to create itself, we will strive to update this page with turning points, significant events, and corrections or updates to our history.
