Dracula & Spider
Dracula + Spider Friday and Saturday, October 24th + 25th Doors: 6:30 pm. Curtain: 7:00 pm. The Up Valley, Down Valley Players present Michael Callihan’s readers theatre adaptation of Orson Welles’s 1938 Mercury Theater radio production of Dracula – the chilling tale of a mad Transylvanian Count turned blood-sucking fiend in search of a bride. If you have a weak heart, you may want to cover your eyes during certain scenes! Stay after intermission for Spider – a creepy-crawly reminder that the average person swallows eight spiders a year while sleeping… and far more might just be walking across your face, even human sized ones! Location: Blue Box Theater | Directed by Mike Callihan Tickets: $15 | Non-Member, $13.50 | Member
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. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
