The Millibo Art Theatre is a mainstay of the Pikes Peak region’s performing arts scene, and it produces new plays, circus, cabaret, and comedy for audiences of all ages. Our 24-25 season features twenty-four unique productions ranging from Opera to New Plays to Puppetry. In addition, we are dedicated to educating audiences and performers through workshops, classes, and 21 different Summer Camps for ages 4 through high school. We make live theatre accessible, stimulating and big fun.
For twenty-three years, the Millibo Art Theatre has cultivated a true arts community in the Pikes Peak region, allowing local performing artists, national and international touring artists, and audiences of all ages to come together in our intimate 109-seat venue and experience the true value of live theatre. We are great believers in the power of live theatre to inspire, educate, and entertain.
The Millibo Art Theatre (originally the Manitou Art Theatre) was founded in 2001 to provide new and original live performances in an intimate, accessible theatre for audiences of all ages in the Pikes Peak region.
Having performed extensively internationally and throughout the U.S., Jim Jackson and Birgitta De Pree had experienced many successful theatre models in action. They recognized the powerful impact new work can have on a community as it engages audiences in relevant dialogue, challenges and supports artists in the creation of new work, and invites audience and community participation in entirely fresh, dynamic ways.
The MAT offers the community a unique opportunity to experience the best new theatre from around the nation. It also provides Colorado artists with a home where they are encouraged and challenged to create new work. The MAT welcomes children and adults into the creative process through dynamic workshops with professional performing artists, as well as brings the work outside the theatre walls through extensive touring and arts residencies.
Recognized as an arts leader in the community, with numerous award-winning shows and exciting community collaborations, the MAT fills a unique niche in the Pikes Peak region as it explores new avenues for empowering and engaging artists, audiences, and the community in the creation and appreciation of new theatre. For the past 23 years, the MAT has presented adventurous theatre productions that impact the imagination, widen world views, and reveal our common humanity.
