- 2025 Melodrama
A Politician’s Ladder, or Wrong by Wrong to Success
by George Downing
After a pandemic sized shutdown, and challenging reboot, The Silver Plume Melodrama is returning to the George Downing Playhouse. This year we reprise A politician’s Ladder, or Wrong by Wrong to Success, forty years after the original 1985 production. This is a celebration of the largest community-based, volunteer fundraising initiative for the preservation of Silver Plume’s historical structures. Over 500 volunteer hours are donated by the community to make this production come to life. We are excited to have a Clear Creek County based cast and crew, directed by Silver Plume local, and George Downing’s protégé, Nicholas Regester. Please join us for this dinner theater and support the preservation of this unique historic community.
“It is the turn of the century in a town nestled in the foothills from whence its livelihood has come. It is not a boomtown but instead grew at a measured pace because of natural geographic factors.
Situated at the confluence of two valleys, it was the natural location for stores and services to both, and the streams from each tumbled together creating a sizeable river of spectacular beauty. Far enough from the mining and logging in one direction and the dusty trail herds in the other to avoid the dirt and grime, yet close enough to gain sustenance from all.
Though the mutterings about the shaky economics of precious metals have reached the town, most people believe the diversity of the area will pull them through. Only a few are taking steps to find-untapped resources that will guarantee a bountiful future.
These very steps create our drama. The subtle forces that guide municipal growth are not walking in unison.”
When: Encore performance July 3rd, Doors open at 6:00pm Dinner at 7:00. Seating is first-come first-serve.
How: Tickets $50, Kids $35 (12 and under). Ticket includes dinner and ice cream sundae bar.

- Silver Plume Easter 2023
Easter is here and it is time to celebrate. Silver Plume will be holding its annual Easter service at 2:00 pm with a visit by the Easter Gorilla, a children’s egg hunt, and reception to follow. Please join us at the old Methodist Church (455 Hancock St) at 2:00 PM Sunday April 9th.
- 2023 Melodrama Postponed
The 2023 Melodrama has been postponed! Due to a blossoming baby boom within the cast the melodrama will have to wait until 2024. This means a new generation will be entering the famous Melodrama Actors School and the brake will hopefully secure a continuing cast into the future. Thank you for all the interest and we can’t wait to take the stage next year. #SilverPlume #melodrama
