"Greig's influence permeates Estes
Park, from the exterior designs of Gaslight Square and The Courtyard Shops
to the exceptional
level of art & culture present in the community, which Greig has worked so
diligently to foster over the years."
—Dave Tanton (OldEstes)
"When the rest of the [theater] bunch had all gone
off to their respective winter jobs, I was locking up the place for the
last time when Dave Stirling, who was walking down the street, hollered at
me and asked where I was off to. I told him I was going back to
California to get back to work at the Playhouse. I had three theaters and
a TV studio to open and only a week to do it. Dave asked if I had
ever thought of easel painting, which oddly I had been thinking of for
some time. He asked me to stay in Estes Park and paint with him. He said
I could live with him so I wouldn’t have too many expenses. It sounded
good to me and as there was a pay phone right there, I called California
and said to give my job away, I wasn’t coming back. And I never did!"
—Greig Steiner
