Actors with The San Luis Valley Theatre Company & SLV Theatre Company
The San Luis Valley Theatre Company is a non-profit company based in Colorado's very own San Luis Valley and SLV Theatre Company is a for profit company which created this website. Led by Roscoe, the companies share the same mission which is to bring the art of theatre to the community and provide top notch entertainment featuring locals from around the area.
SLV Theatre Company kicked off its 2015 season with a dinner theatre show called DROP DEAD (Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore) performed at the Grille Restaurant located in the Cattails Golf Course in Alamosa, CO. This was followed by a children's production titled TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN (Freedrama.com) which was actually performed at the UFO Watch Tower in Hooper, CO during the summer!

The San Luis Valley Theatre Company is the non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization and ended the 2015 season with "CONTEMPT OF COURT", a play written by David Landau and Nikki Stern and produced by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc. A very successful show at The Grille Restaurant in Alamosa, CO with 150 audience members in attendance.
2016 started with Kristy Manning's EVERYBODY HAS ONE at the Center School Auditorium followed by another David Landou and Nikki Stern Dinner Theatre Play MURDER AT CAFE NOIR. A very successful dinner theatre production that was enjoyed by all especially the Veterans who braved the snow storm to enjoy the play!
This was followed by a reprise of EVERYBODY HAS ONE this time at Adams State University.
To end the 2016 season we had the play Noir Point Blank at The Rodeway Inn in Alamosa on November 18 & 19. Unfortunately our lead actor in the play received an emergency phone call 5 minutes before going on stage regarding a flight for life situation. Needless to say it was not a good night for us or the audience. We closed the show the next day and to keep you all in the know all turned out well in that flight for life scenario. Thank you to many audience members who showed concern.
SLV Theatre Company kicked off 2017 as part of a benefit show for a young cancer child along with Broadway singer/Dancer Corliss Taylor - Dunn in April where once again we performed TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN. In May The San Luis Valley Theatre Company's Children's Theatre Camp was introduced with the cute play THE CAPTAIN AND THE CAT.
Then On June 9th and 10th 2017 SLV Theatre Company performed MURDER: THE FINAL FRONTIER as a dinner theatre play, a space type of show complete with aliens!
Our last production of year performed by The San Luis Valley Theatre Company was JUST LIKE US. A play by Karen Zacarrias and based on the book by Helen Thorpe. This was done at the Carson Auditorium at ASU and was produced in conjunction with the SLV Immigrant Resource Center (IRC) on August 25 & 26, 2017. One hundred & eighty people were in attendance for this show. Whew! - 4 events in a period of 4 months! To start out the year 2018 we put on a dinner theatre production called
HOW TO SURVIVE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. The was done at The Rodeway Inn in Alamosa as well as at the Mosca school and in Creede, Colorado. There was a great audience turnout of well over 200!
We also held two Children's Theatre Camps where the children enjoyed performing at two separate venues - The Rodeway Inn and the Summer Fest in Alamosa, CO.
2018 was also the time of the big Spring Fire which took out over 200 mountain homes in The San Luis Valley. One of those homes included the home of Roscoe, the president and founder of The San Luis Theatre Company and proprietor of SLV Theatre Company. Unfortunately along with the home went the entire company stage and equipment which had been stored on the premises.
Not to be overtaken by someone's carelessness Roscoe along with the help of his good friend and theatre construction guru Mike Farrington, they built stage walls and ended the 2018 year with the for mature audiences comedy by Rich Orloff ROMANIC FOOLS!
2019 started out with the musical Zoot Suit directed by the companies Vice President Luis Salazar which was a big hit even with the onslaught of a snow blizzard!
May of 2019 Roscoe directed the dinner theatre play MOLLY HOWARD IS NO MORE. This was done at the Allgone Restaurant in Fort Garland to a very appreciative audience.
On July 3rd of this same year Roscoe was in a motorcycle accident with another vehicle where Roscoe lost his left leg. As a part of a fund raising effort for Roscoe, Luis Salazar directed a play at Society Hall called GIRLS NIGHT OUT. No one charged for their services including the venue Society Hall. Jenene Holcome was very instrumental in putting the production together. All proceeds went to aid Roscoe.
Update: As of the end of the year 2019 Roscoe received a prosthetic leg and is back to normal activity!
2020 Pandemic Crisis - There were no shows this year.
2021 Finally we performed a live and online play called MURDER: THE FINAL FRONTIER! This was done at Society Hall in Alamosa Colorado. Live Theatre has once again begun! Remember our motto
"We Bring The Living Arts To You!"
We ended 2021 with a November performance of the romantic comedy WAITING ON TRAINS which was written by Doug Larson of freedrama.net.
