CREEDE- With spring just on the horizon and longer days gracing the San Luis Valley, Creede like many other communities are getting ready for the coming year and all the fun this summer will hold. The Creede Repertory Theatre (CRT) is no exception as they prepare for their 55th season as a world-renowned repertory theatre.
This season boasts a wide variety of fun, family friendly and comic plays that theatre lovers have come to enjoy at CRT. This season focuses on grand adventures and each of the productions highlights the need to belong, community togetherness and lots of fun along the way.
According to descriptions provided through the theatre, this season will kick off with Fully Committed by Becky Mode, directed by Steven Cole Hughes and serves of laughs one plateful at a time. “This laugh-out-loud comedy follows a day in the life of Sam, an out-of-work actor who manages the red-hot reservation line at the number-one restaurant in town. A cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing to land a prime reservation: impatient socialites, celebrity assistants, top restaurant reviewers and even a mobster; interrupted only by demands from a hot-headed chef, Sam’s father, agent, boss and oh so many more. Graham Ward returns to the CRT stage tackling 40 different characters in this comedic tour-de-force!”
Next in the lineup is The Roommate by Jen Silverman, directed by Christy Montour-Larson. “In her sprawling Iowa farmhouse, newly divorced empty-nester Sharon seeks a roommate. Her ad is answered by Robyn, a woman with a past looking to start over. As Robyn’s secrets are revealed, Sharon takes control of her own life in ways she never expected. Part The Odd Couple, part Thelma & Louise, this beautiful and deeply funny play stars Christy Brandt and Annie Butler.”
For those that want to step away from comedy and enjoy a deep drama, Grounded by George Brant and directed by John DiAntonio dives into motherhood, marriage and military. “A hotshot fighter pilot with a passion for the sky has her life forever changed by an unexpected pregnancy. Once the fearless pilot of an F-16, she now spends her days flying a military drone from a windowless trailer in the Nevada desert. Caitlin Wise stars in this gripping one-woman show that explores parenthood, military life, PTSD, and how one copes when the lines begin to blur between the horrors of war, and the safety of home.”
The theatre is well-known for its ability to whisk audiences away, taking them from their seats to another world entirely through their onstage talents and it will be no exception with this year’s rendition of a family friendly, well-known play Annie. The Book by Thomas Meehan with music by Charles Strouse and Lyrics by Martin Charnin and directed by Brittni Shambaugh Addison. “One of the world’s most beloved musicals reaches the Creede stage! Join us for the adventures of Little Orphan Annie and her band of waifs and strays, featuring some amazing local talent. As Annie attempts to find her real parents, she enchants the rich and famous Oliver Warbucks while escaping the clutches of the devious Miss Hannigan, played by Kate Berry.”
Rounding out an excellent season will be Oklahoma! With music by Richard Rodgers, Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II which is based on the play “Green Grow the Lilacs” by Lynn Riggs and directed by Maurice LaMee. “The place is Oklahoma territory at the turn of the 20th century, a time when ranchers and cowboys are squaring off over land and water rights and love is in the air. Curly loves Laurey, though Laurey isn’t quite sure about Curly. Will Parker loves Ado Annie, though Ado loves, well, everybody! This 1943 Broadway hit was the first modern musical to weave catchy songs with vivid storytelling. Join us for this classic story about love and belonging.”
Last but not least is The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde and directed by Kyle Haden. “It’s 1895 and Jack Worthing is engaged–that is if he can convince his potential mother-in-law to accept him. And that might prove difficult since his fiancé thinks his name is Ernest. Oh, and he doesn’t know who his parents are. Not to mention his ward thinks she’s ALSO engaged to Ernest. Oh dear! Mistaken identities and the search for one’s true self frame Oscar Wilde’s most famous comedy of manners.”
