Performing Arts

The Durango Arts Center is a the hub for performing arts in Durango. We host adult workshops, youth camps, and a professional theater company in our space.  

The Durango Arts Repertory Theater (DART) presents 4-5 major productions annually, including an adult contemporary play, a summer musical theatre spectacular, a 10-Minute Play Festival, and a family holiday show featuring students in the Youth Theater program. Beloved favorites, compelling dramas, inventive works by emerging playwrights, and family theatre combine for a season that entertains, challenges, and represents the best in local talent. 

The DAC Youth Theatre & Performing Arts program provides a unique opportunity for kids to unleash their creativity and bring their imagination to life through movement, speech, storytelling, and character development.

The DAC theatre is nationally recognized for its quality productions and artistic merit. In the true spirit of community theatre, DAC offers a place for everyone – behind the scenes, in front of the floodlights, and in the audience!
