Celebrating Imagination and the Creative Spirit through Quality Theatre in Durango, Colorado
COMING SOON
“Into the woods you go again to take another journey.”
Once upon a time, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim took everyone’s favorite fairytale characters and brought them together into an enchanting and award-winning musical. We are overjoyed to bring it to Durango this season. Staged with imagination, puppetry, passion, and Merely Players’ bold and sparkling creativity, the show brilliantly weaves music and life lessons into an unforgettable tale. It’s an adventurous world of glass slippers, beanstalks, giants, magic, and witches – where wishes are granted and happily ever after is not always what it seems. Anything can happen in the woods. Parental discretion advised.

We humbly ask that you consider contributing to Merely Players, a 501(c) (3) organization.
As is true in theatres across the nation, ticket prices account for only about 30% of our operational and production costs. The rest of our expenses must be met through private donations and grants.
Live theatre is a dynamic, expensive venture, and our costs keep rising. Donations are used to meet venue expenses, pay royalties, hire actors and other personnel, pay for technical elements such as scenery, costumes, and lighting, and to publicize our shows. The money we raise directly affects the quality of our productions.
Theatre adds vitality and variety to a community, and your tax-deductible donation helps to ensure that we can continue to thrive.

Merely Players celebrates the dignity and inherent potential of every human. We reject any form of discrimination or hatred, as we aspire to create a community built on respect, belonging, diversity, inclusion, collaboration, and creativity.
