The festival has played every summer since 1958, which makes it one of the oldest in the country, and it works outdoors in a stone theatre named for Mary Rippon. Rippon started teaching languages at the University of Colorado in 1878 and was the first woman on the faculty of a state university in Colorado. She kept a husband and a daughter hidden for decades, because a married woman would have lost the job. The regents approved the theatre in her name after she died in 1935.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
