Honoring the Creede Jaycees. & Jaycee-ettes In early 1966, the men and women of the Junior Chamber of Commerce ( Jaycees and Jaycee-ettes) in Creede, Colorado decided to send out letters to several surrounding university theatre programs to gauge their interest in providing summer entertainment for the City of Creede. Carl Helfin had retired from producing his beloved melodramas and movies, and local pastor/Jaycee member Jim Livingston saw a grand opportunity. This idea, along with the enthusiastic response of twelve University of Kansas students, led to the creation of CRT that very summer. 53 seasons later, we dedicate our 2018 program to the Jaycees and Jaycee-ettes of 1966 and beyond. Without their once crazy idea, the Creede Repertory Theatre would not exist. CRT will be honoring the Creede Jaycees & Jaycee-ettes at the June 16th 1:30pm performance of The Wizard of Oz.
