About Us
The Westcliffe Center for the Performing Arts
(WCPA) was incorporated in 1992 and received its
not-for-profit status the following year. Our goals are to provide a Center for the Performing Arts in
the picturesque Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado. We encourage new playwrights and provide classes and theater training each summer through the co-operation of local universities.
The Westcliffe Center for the Performing Arts
(WCPA) is
housed in the Historic Jones Theater
and in the adjoining Studio 2 at 2nd and Main
Streets in Westcliffe, Colorado. We provide a full
summer season of plays, music, dance and classic as well as
year-round first run
motion pictures. We produce both new plays and musicals as well seasoned favorites:
comedy, drama, melodrama and one man and woman shows.
