The Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre
The Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre Group is a non-profit organization that promotes the development and interest of performing arts in Grand County, Colorado through performances and educational workshops. The Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre was designed to replace the existing facility that had been outgrown and now provides a Theatre/ Hall with seating for over 300 patrons with an orchestra pit partially hidden under the stage thrust, a community room and (2) dressing rooms as well as a costume shop/ children's dressing room. There is a rehearsal room that completely opens to an outdoor patio to allow for public viewing as an added attraction between performances. OPI worked with the Historic Preservation District to ensure the design fit seamlessly into the quaint Main Street aesthetics.
RMRT was also designed to keep non-profit fundraising capabilities in mind. The design intended for the project to be laid out as if it were in phases to allow construction to begin while fundraising for the additional rooms was still ongoing, providing a flexible facility that could be added to as funds allowed. OPI also provided marketing information and a theatre walk-through video that was instrumental in the fundraising efforts. The facility is also used during the off months for weddings, business venues, and educational lectures as well as a movie hall for local gatherings.
