The Star Bar Theatre is back again performing more outdoor Shakespeare in Manitou Springs. This year, the show is a comedy that they've shifted to a different, more groovy time period.
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Star Bar Theatre is presenting 'As You Like It' by William Shakespeare in front of the Onaledge Historic Lodge at Sun Mountain Center in Manitou Springs.
Founded in the early 1970s, the Star Bar Theatre returned from a multi-year hiatus in 2025 with a presentation of 'Love's Labour's Lost' (also) hosted at the Onaledge property; while last year's production was transposed into the gold rush era, this year's play is set in the 1960s.
