Crackpots, Crackshots & Cannibal

February 7 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$12 – $20

Crackpots, Crackshots & A Cannibal A Readers Theatre Play February 7 & 8. Doors open at 6:30, Curtain 7:00 pm. The Wild West was mine-crazy in 1880. In the Spring of that year, 1,000+ people a day poured into Gunnison. Most moved on, hoping to strike it rich in them thar hills, but… some stayed. This Up Valley, Down Valley Players readers theatre production is the true – well, mostly true – story of four who did stay: the legendary lawman Doc Shores, the Bloodhound of the Rockies and the pistol-packing owner of the richest mine in the area – Ellen Jack aka Captain Jack; Garwood Judd after whom Judd Falls near Gothic is named. Plus a cameo of a skiing mail carrier Al Johnson. AND the one who left but came back…in handcuffs: Alferd Packer. Live music and dance numbers straight from those early days in the Gunnison Country make this a must-see show! Tickets: $20/adults, $18/seniors & veterans, $12/kids. GAC Members receive $2 off ticket prices.

Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison

Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley.
