Union Colony Civic Center is the home of performing arts in Greeley. With a wide variety of shows and performances taking place each year, you’re sure to find something inspiring and entertaining to see at UCCC.
History of the Union Colony Civic Center
The UCCC is owned and operated by the City of Greeley. It was built in 1988 and since then, has hosted hundreds of performances every year. The UCCC was constructed using both public funds and private donations, in an effort to bring high-quality performance art to Greeley and northwestern Colorado.
The Greeley city manager of cultural affairs is in charge of bringing shows to the UCCC and creates the lineup for each season. Like many live entertainment venues, the UCCC had to close to the public for the 2020 pandemic. As of fall 2021, however, the Center is back to offering live shows to Greeley residents.
Shows and Performances at Union Colony Civic Center
Each season brings a new line-up of shows and performances to the UCCC. Anything from Broadway musicals, concerts, local dance and school performances, to comedy shows take place at the Center. The UCCC houses two performance venues, the larger Monfort Concert Hall seating 1,686, and the smaller Hensel Phelps Theatre seating 214. In addition to these two halls, the UCCC also has the Tointon Gallery, which displays ten exhibits each year by local, regional, and nationally acclaimed artists. These exhibits are open and free to the public year-round.
The UCCC is also the proud home of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, the Stampede Troupe, The Dance Factory, and shows and events put on by District 6 schools. In Greeley, the UCCC is more than an entertainment venue. It’s the home for local and national shows, where both residents and visitors to the city can find something awe-inspiring to watch.
