History

The Backdoor Theater was created in 2000 as a non-profit organization in Nederland, Colorado, with the aim of bringing a wide variety of entertainment to a 260-seat venue. From its early years, it operated as a cinema, presenting 35mm film showings of current, foreign, and classic cinema, typically on Friday and Saturday evenings. The theater also became a home for live performances. In 2001, it presented the comic musical melodrama "The Masked Canary." The following year, 2002, saw the production of "Oh Horrors, It's Murder," a comic mystery musical, and the launch of the Backdoor Chamber Music Festival. An annual Christmas program in December became a recurring tradition. The venue also hosted special event shows and offered classes in dance and music on its stage. The theater's website has listed lineups of films, such as January screenings of "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events," "Meet the Fockers," and "Closer," indicating its ongoing role as a local cinema. The Backdoor Theater continues to serve the Nederland community as a non-profit entertainment venue.
