Hello, Ouray! 🩵

Today, we’ll be doing an Instagram takeover. It’s nice to meet you!

Founded by Kate and John Kissingford, is our labor of love.

Our first date was an improv gathering at The Sherbino Theater in 1996. Since that time, theatre has been a central part of our lives as a couple and as collaborators. While we each hold many professional and volunteer roles in our community, UpstART is where we get to play: to share our love of telling stories that move us.

We believe that theatre should be relevant, perspective altering, heart opening, and exciting. Don’t you?

Follow our profile to learn more about our next show, opening tomorrow night! (And all of our upcoming shows, too!)

Our Story

Ouray has been a special destination for world travelers for more than 100 years. Located in southwest Colorado, Ouray sits at 7,700 feet at the base of the San Juan Mountains. Surrounded on three sides by 13,000 foot snowcapped peaks, Ouray has been known since the 1940s as “The Switzerland of America.”

Ouray was first discovered by the Northern Utes, who considered this hot springs filled valley sacred. The city was incorporated in 1876 during Colorado's silver and gold mining boom and the historic Victorian downtown is now a National Historic District. Two-thirds of Ouray’s original structures survive and are still occupied today, keeping the town’s historic charm intact.

Ouray is home to sulfur-free hot springs, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, historic OHV trails, ghost towns and the world-famous Ouray Ice Park. It sits at the intersection of the San Juan Skyway Scenic and Historic Byway and the Alpine Loop Scenic and Historic Backcountry Byway and is known for the famous "Million Dollar Highway" section of US Highway 550. Ouray is located 75 miles north of Durango, 35 miles south of Montrose and 90 miles south of Grand Junction.

We can’t wait to welcome you to town and help you create your perfect mountain moment!
