Welcome to Crested Butte Mountain Theatre!
Crested Butte Mountain Theatre is in its 48th consecutive year, making it the longest running community theatre in Colorado. Our mission is to entertain, educate, and enrich the Crested Butte community and greater Gunnison Valley by providing a well-balanced theatrical season of high artistic quality.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT DURING THIS CHALLENGING TIME!
The CBMT’s staff hopes our friends, patrons and their loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented challenging times. The theatre remains open, although all performances are cancelled until a later date when we expect to reschedule all missed productions.
We are working diligently to find ways to remain operational. We have cut our payroll expenses in half in order to stay open. We are presently researching additional small business stimulus packages that may be available. We would greatly appreciate donations in any amount that you can give to help us weather this crisis. We are most grateful for your continuous generous support!
Presently, our Artistic Director, Brooke Hallweaver is accepting scripts for the Ten-Minute Play Festival scheduled for late May. Staying home can be a creative time for those so inclined. We are planning to conduct virtual auditions for our summer productions and are currently performing virtual Improv shows from our Subject To Change troupe.

10 MIN PLAY SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 6TH!
Dear CBMT Friends,
Yesterday I had the pleasure of reading the submissions for the 10 minute plays. From a zen carpenter who awakens a melancholic woman, to a trial of a villager who made her cousin laugh to death, to a strange summer day behind the front desk of a hostel in our special little town - it's been a much needed escape into the unique world of the plays.
If you've been tinkering with an idea or two for our 10 Minute Play Festival, I'd love to invite you to bring your idea to life on paper. We are extending our deadline to April 6th.
The theme for the 10 Minute Play Festival this year is "Laughter is the Best Medicine". If that sparks your imagination, great. If not, even better.
Here are some helpful hints to get the ideas rolling:
Cheers,
Brooke

Here are some helpful hints to get the ideas rolling:
- Imagine you are in the audience - what do you want to see brought to life onstage?
- Is there a story or subject matter you've recently heard that sparked your interest? Perhaps there is a character you'd like to bring to life or an event in history you want to dramatize?
- In general, a 10 minute play asks a question. By developing your setting, characters, and conflict, you the playwright get to use the world of the play to answer that question.
Cheers,
Brooke

In Loving Memory of Samuel H. Porter

He was a lawyer and has served on a number of community, civic and professional boards. Sam's wife Lucy is a member of the board for the Crested Butte Music Festival and has served on the board of BalletMet of Columbus, Ohio for almost 25 consecutive years.
