Welcome to the brand-new RENOVATED Hellems building and Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre! 🤩⛰️

With the CSF season kick-off THIS weekend, audiences can expect all sorts of new features and amenities as this wonderful space reopens.

They'll be greeted by a brand-new lobby waiting area, the cozy Stingers Cafe for snacks and beverages ☕️, and elevators / ADA accessible ramps offering an effortless transition from arrival at Hellems into the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre.

In addition, we are happy to announce the implementation of all-gender restrooms as well as classroom N100, which will now host all pre-show talks for the season.

We are eager to welcome you to this new space, carefully and consciously curated just for you. Welcome home to the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre! ♥️

It takes a village to prepare our four productions every summer ☀️💪

Have you ever seen what it takes to put together a CSF season?

We are so grateful for the countless hands that invest invaluable time and effort to make sure everything gets done just in time. 🫶 👏

From scenic design and props to costumes to crafts to our rehearsal rooms, every individual in our company shows up and shows out, and this isn’t even all of it (sound and lighting are hard at work, too)!!! 🤯
