Have you ever seen that sign for the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse along Interstate 25, just before Johnstown? You’d be forgiven if you missed it while blasting by at 75 miles per hour on your way to Fort Collins or Greeley. But if you like theater, you may want to slow down and discover Candlelight. Located 43 miles north of Denver, the theater is adjacent to an RV dealership and a truck stop, and is surrounded by the cornfields and gas wells of–tiny Johnstown (population: 15,389). The smell of nearby feedlots wafts over the roomy parking lot next to the large steel building that houses the theater. What is this place doing here? What’s extraordinary about this venue is not just its location, but also the quality, scale and frequency of its productions.–Just like any theater — from Broadway to the Denver Center to the most humble 50-seat community playhouse — the Candlelight is dedicated to transporting its audience to another place. Candlelight has thrived over the last decade, and expanded, as it continues to offer top-notch, large-cast musicals year-round.
