The famous Rocky Mountain Repertory Theater opens this year in a brand new building.

The 12,000-square-foot complex at the corner of Grand Avenue and Vine Street in Grand Lake features 297 comfortable stadium seats, lobby, backstage area, dressing rooms, enhanced sound, advanced lighting components and a multi-purpose room. Since 2008, more than $5 million was raised to build the complex. (The town of Grand Lake has only 450 residents, but more than 1,000 individual donors contributed to the building project.) The new theater replaces the Grand Lake Community House, a log cabin structure built in 1922.

Now in its fourth decade, the live theater performs professional plays and musicals in rotation. The summer repertory shows include Anything Goes, Jekyll & Hyde, The Drowsy Chaperone, and The Marvelous Wonderettes. Visit the website for a full schedule.

Seating is reserved and advance purchase is recommended. Tickets: $30 adult, children 14 and under $15. Box office is open Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, (970) 627-3421.
