There are plenty of opportunities see a play or musical here in the Springs, but I know that not many of us can or want to spend the hundreds of dollars that it can take to take our whole families. I wanted to highlight some of the smaller local production companies whose performances cost around $10 or less per person to attend. We’ve been to performances from several of these groups and while of course they’re not Broadway-quality, I and my kids have greatly enjoyed them!
If you’d like to take your children to the theater without spending a mint, here are some great local options:

Don’t forget to also check out local high schools’ productions – there’s too many to list here, but tickets are often $10 or less. And of course, when I hear about free or cheap performances I will continue to share them on the front page of Springs Bargains!

Could you list the website for local high schools with theater? With so many districts and charter schools around COS it’s really hard to keep up with which schools may have these offerings.
Hi, Pam! I’m not sure that I’m going to be able to include a list of all the schools, but I do know that almost every high school has a drama department and produces at least one performance per year! Each school district should have a list of high schools on their website.
