CREEDE — Check out what is playing at Creede Repertory Theatre this weeK:

Barefoot in the Park

Corie is a romantic free spirit. Paul is a conservative young lawyer. This classic romantic comedy follows these six-day-old newlyweds as their dream marriage and five-story walk-up apartment fall apart in front of their very eyes. This hilarious and profoundly touching 1963 play by Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner Neil Simon explores universal questions about love, compatibility, and relationships. Sometimes unpacking the emotional baggage is the biggest move of all.

Barefoot in the Park takes place in CRT’s state of the art Ruth Humphreys Brown Theatre. This intimate black box space will have you feeling like you moved in to a five-story walk-up, too. Watch out for the snow through the skylight! You won’t want to miss this lively and comical masterpiece!

• Wednesday, June 20th at 7:30 p.m.

• Friday, June 22nd at 7:30 p.m.

• Saturday, June 23rd at 7:30 p.m.

The Wizard of Oz

We’re off to see the Wizard! Experience this time-honored story as Dorothy travels from the plains of Kansas to the magical world of Oz. Adapted from the classic 1939 film by MGM, The Wizard of Oz takes our young heroine on a fantastical journey of adventure and adversity. Complete with a scarecrow, a tin man, a not-so-fearless lion, a wicked witch, and a little dog, too. So grab your friends and your ruby slippers and get ready to be blown away!

The Wizard of Oz is held in our historic Mainstage. This masterful treasure will take you on a musical journey of nostalgia and fun! We may have even threw in a few surprises here and there. The Wizard of Oz is also kid-friendly!

Bring your children to experience magic of live theatre and you can even dress them up as their favorite character, too!

• Tuesday, June 19th at 7:30 p.m.

• Thursday, June 21st at 7:30 p.m.

Boomtown opens its 12th Season this Saturday, June 23rd at 10:30 p.m.

Twelve is the age when almost-teenagers get impatient for their upcoming transition to semi-adulthood. When they get to stay home after school alone. Little do they know their parents tremble in their beds at night, dreaming of a world where children do their own laundry and don’t complain about the reheated burger for dinner because sometimes mom just WANTS SOME TIME TO HERSELF. Ahem.

Anyway, you know what all this means. Boomtown Improv is back. We’re 12. And we’re unsupervised. Bring the popcorn.
