The Breckenridge Backstage theatre was once ... Rockpile Productions? At least that's what Shirley Martin called her production company back in 1974 when she got the idea to stage the melodrama Poor Pitiful Pearl in Singin' Sadie's Saloon, a Breckenridge bar. She cast a young newcomer to the area, Allyn Mosher, in the role of the villain. Neither performer was sure if anyone would show up to see the result of all their hard work and effort, but they needn't have worried. Locals and visitors alike flocked to the production which was a riotous, raucous affair with audience members hoisting beer mugs, booing, hissing, and offering otherwise appropriate melodramatic comments to the troupe performing at the end of the bar. It was the last (and only) year of business for Singin' Sadie, but it was the beginning of a notable cultural tradition in Breckenridge! Shirley owned a boutique called the Backdoor. The name "Backstage" was a natural derivation for the new year-round company she decided to form with Allyn. That first year, the newly christened Backstage Theatre produced three melodramas, a bedtime comedy "for mature audiences only", and a Noel Coward play - all at the Breckenridge Inn (now the Breckenridge Mountain Lodge). In 1976, the Backstage Theatre was incorporated as Summit County's first non-profit and, with the help of local artisan Dan Milner, moved into a permanent, 74-seat theatre on the second floor of the Sterling Building (still located on the corner of Ski Hill Road and Main Street). According to The Rocky Mountain News, the stage had "barely enough room to fit a Volkswagen", but the group nevertheless produced a year-round schedule of large-cast musicals, mysteries, and melodramas. They soon added a classic film series and invited Dr. Kenneth Evans (who later founded the Breckenridge Music Institute) to host a chamber music series.
