Synopsis
A remote Colorado mountain mining town becomes an unexpected model for public discourse. For generations, Creede’s residents have held tightly to their heritage and values. But when the town brought in a theater company to revitalize the economy, the citizens were introduced to new ideas and perspectives -- creating an ongoing tension between tradition and change.
Nearly 60 years and countless performances later, Creede is a stunning microcosm of America's national divisions. Issues like guns in classrooms and gender pronouns spark tense debates, yet the town remains bound by a shared sense of place and community. Through intimate portraits, charged town meetings, and a rich historical lens, CREEDE U.S.A. explores how this evolving community continues to find common ground - both inside and outside of the mining shafts, ranches and the Creede Repertory Theatre.
