Greetings! here is your monthly CMC Foundation news update

Last year, figuring out how to present college and community theater during a pandemic was a new adventure. This year, Sopris Theatre Company at Colorado Mountain College is planning for in-person theatrical experiences, as well as streamed online performances, too. In other words, flexibility is the name of the game for the 2021-22 season.

Sopris Theatre Company will invite audiences, dependent on public health mandates, to the New Space Theatre, the 100-seat auditorium in the Calaway Academic Building at CMC Spring Valley. The company will also stream performances during the week of each play, making the productions available to anyone, anywhere with internet access.

All live in-person performances, COVID-19 precautions dependent, will be held at the New Space Theatre, Calaway Academic Building, Colorado Mountain College Spring Valley, 3000 County Road 114, Glenwood Springs. Tickets are $20 for adults, and $15 for seniors, students, CMC employees and graduates.

You can use Community Rewards to support the Colorado Mountain College Foundation, at no cost to you. Each quarter City Market will send a portion of the money spent at their stores to the CMC Foundation. This is a great way to make a positive impact on your community without changing your daily routine.

The global pandemic has put into sharp focus the ever-present need for healthcare workers, especially in rural communities.

Simultaneously, nursing students are experiencing difficulty gaining access to the clinical experiences they need to graduate. So, how can new nurses be trained to fill critical needs? The answer is high fidelity nursing simulation labs that allow students to complete 50% of their clinical training in a controlled environment.

To help make this dream a reality we need support from local community members.
