Creede Repertory Theatre (CRT or Creede Rep) is a summer theatre that operates from early May through mid-September.^[1] Founded in 1966,^[2] CRT is a professional theatre company located at nearly 9,000 feet of elevation^[3] in the historic town of Creede, Colorado. In addition to live theatre, it offers a variety of educational programs including summer and Friday day camps, the KID's Show program, and the Young Audience Outreach Tour [YAOT].^[4]

Since 2003, as part of CRT's annual summer season, a professional team of theatre artists has mentored local students (ages 10+) by creating a fully-produced, all-original show. KID's Show employs an in-depth mentorship model. Each year, approximately 15-20 young people work alongside a team of teaching artists and professional theatre makers to bring a brand-new production to life in just under three weeks.

The Young Audience Outreach Tour aims to bring high-quality musical theatre to rural and underserved communities. This program annually produces an original children's show for students in grades K-6 grade that tours throughout the Southwest, serving over 31,000 young people.
