For nearly twenty years, Piknik Theatre has brought live performance to Northwest Colorado. What began with Shakespeare in the park has grown into a season of stories rooted in a literary tradition, performed by professional artists and shared with audiences of all ages, with free and reduced-price lawn seats so everyone has a place. We give kids a real stage, support emerging artists, and bring people together through story, music, and play.

Durante casi veinte años, Piknik Theatre ha llevado las artes escénicas en vivo al noroeste de Colorado. Lo que comenzó con Shakespeare en el parque se ha convertido en una temporada de historias arraigadas en la tradición literaria, interpretadas por artistas profesionales para públicos de todas las edades, con asientos en el césped gratuitos y a precio reducido para que todos tengan un lugar. Damos a los niños un escenario real, apoyamos a artistas emergentes y reunimos a la comunidad a través de historias, música y juego.

ways to join us

performances

For nearly twenty years, Piknik Theatre has made live performance accessible in Northwest Colorado. We produce professional theatre, introduce children to the performing arts, support emerging artists, and create opportunities for people of all ages to gather through story, music, and play.

shared spaces

Located at the Branham Amphitheater, the Stuart Handloff Stage welcomes performing arts organizations from across the Yampa Valley to create, collaborate, and share their work.

By offering an accessible and affordable performance space, Piknik helps local artists and organizations bring theatre, music, dance, and community events to life.Our work is grounded in a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the arts.

children’s theater

Piknik offers theatre, music, movement, and creative learning for young people all year long.

Our School's Out, camps turn school days off into days of acting, singing, and play.

Through our partnership with the Steamboat Springs School District, theatre becomes part of the classroom. And every season, our children's theatre productions give kids of all ages a real stage to share their work. Each program offers a welcoming place to make friends, build confidence, and discover their own artistic voice.
