First Company is the Church's Theatre group.  They have been presenting major theatrical and musical performances here at FUMC for over 29 years in the Church's Theatre.  Creativity and passion for performing arts by everyone involved are the main keys to the success that First Company achieves in every show they present.  They typically present a production in late fall and early spring.  They also present living tableaus on Maundy Thursdays of Jesus' last days, a living nativity scene during several Christmas Eve Services and a melodrama in the summer, held at our Ranch in south of Divide, Colorado.
