CRT PRESIDENT’S WELCOME On behalf of CRT’s Board of Trustee, it is my privilege to welcome you to what might just be the most fun and creative season in CRT’s 56-year history. While shows will not be on the Mainstage or in The Ruth you will still get to experience professionally produced, heartfelt shows with the stunning natural backdrop only Creede can offer. We have heard from so many patrons and supporters over the course of the last year and the continued love and support for CRT is overwhelming. Because of our super fans, the theatre survived a year with no company, no crew, and no live shows only to come out stronger and more dedicated. Staff pivoted to bring CRT to fans virtually through online shows, Zoomtown and a ton of educational programs. If you are reading this, please know we appreciate you more than you can imagine; you truly are the reason CRT is still going strong and continues to entertain and educate thousands of folks every year. We hope this season brings you great joy in the safest most spectacular way possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely,
Kristy Robinson
