Nearly ten years after the addition of the stage
on the Sundeck, Encore!Encore!, an incredible theater production group from
Fort Collins, contacted me regarding their upcoming performances of an
adaptation of Seven Keys at Baldpate
asking if I would like to help sponsor. Of course I said YES! (Over the years, many community theaters
from around the country had done the same, and we were always pleased to help
however best we could.)
It was
such a delightful performance at the Fort Collins Lincoln Center, both companies
thought Baldpate’s stage had to be next! We agreed!

So with one final update on Sundeck, now dubbed
The Key-thedral Theater, the summer of 2009 brought a new level of expertise to
our stage.
For the next several years, we enjoyed many
performances by the Encore!Encore! family including radio play variations of Seven Keys to Baldpate and in 2011
another fun story, Arsenic & Old Lace.
As you can imagine, the sheer work and logistics
of bringing a theater company to the mountains was incredible to say the least.

| The show will go on! |
In 2012, with
Encore!Encore! on sabbatical for a year, our own Estes Park Fine Arts Guild of
the Rockies stepped in to meet the demands of our theater lovers. Over the next couple of years, they delighted
our guests with Southern Comforts & Love
Letters in 2012, Marriage can be
Murder 2013 (along with Encore!Encore! return with the radio play version
of 7 Keys), Vintage Hitchcock 2014, and Coming
Apart 2015, and back by demand, Seven
Keys, story theater version in 2016. B3Creative joined our venue producing
Barbara Boyer Buck’s original plays, Impossible
Paradise in 2014 & Paradise
Protected in 2015.
Outdoor theater brings it special challenges, be
it rain or bears or who knows what! You still gotta say it is always an
adventure!
We are planning big events of course for this
year! So make plans now to come for our
Birthday Celebrations special productions of Seven Keys to Baldpate,
live on stage at the one and only Baldpate Key-thedral Theater!
