El Paso County Nature Centers and Theatre Across Borders partner together to produce the county’s first-ever interactive theater hikes for families! What is a theater hike? Adhering to COVID-19 regulations, audience members, limited to a group of 10, will begin a short (under 1 mile) nature hike at a scheduled time, where groups have staggered start times. Along the way, they encounter a variety of characters unfolding an entire story. This summer’s play is called Magic of the Marsh.

Theatre Across Borders is a new organization that injects theater arts into unsuspecting spaces throughout the Pikes Peak region in order to connect, inspire, and grow together. COVID-19 gave TAB it’s first opportunity to produce live theater outside traditional theater walls.
