Arts in the Open fuses nature with live performance and invites our audience to enjoy the best of what Colorado has to offer.

Our productions are a healthy option that gets the whole family up and moving. As a Leave No Trace Company, our goal is to educate the public about Colorado trail preservation as well as reach a wide range of audiences and expose them to a variety of theatrical productions.
