Keystone Colorado Festivals
Keystone is one of the hidden gems of Colorado during the summer months. Quite surprisingly, Keystone actually offers more things to do during the off-season than the on-season. During the winter months, Keystone is home to one of the most popular and best ski resorts in North America, offering one of the longest ski seasons thanks to some of the most advanced snow making equipment available and the high altitude of the Rocky Mountains. Keystone is also home to the longest ski day in Colorado with the vast area of lit ski trails so you can ski at night.
During the summer months, however, Keystone certainly is a hidden gem among destination resorts. Unlike most other resorts that shut down for the summer, Keystone is wide awake and hopping during the cool Colorado summer. Just about every weekend you can find a new thing to do a Keystone, whether it be a brand new festival or new activity…it’s all possible at Keystone Resort, Colorado.

Musical Theatre: Little Shop of Horrors | The Pavilion |
|
7:30 p.m. On selected Thursdays in July and August, the Pavilion at Keystone hosts the acclaimed musical "Little Shop of Horrors" produced by the award-winning Lake Dillon Theatre Company.
A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this Tony-nominated, affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid). Named "Best Colorado Theatre West of Denver" by the Colorado Theatre Guild and "One of Colorado's Top Ten Theatres Outside Denver" by the Denver Post, the Lake Dillon Theatre brings you a high-quality, high-energy, high-altitude musical performance you won't want to miss. Ticket information will be available May 2008. Put "Little Shop of Horrors" on your calendar today. |
