WYO Theater

The WYO Theater was opened in 1923 as a Lotus Vaudeville Theater. It was open in Sheridan, Wyoming for over 60 years before the live performances and films ended in 1982. Even though performances ended, residents of Sheridan did not want an important landmark to be lost. They decided to rescue the building with donations from businesses, individuals, and private foundations. The money was used to renovate the theater to once again show its amazing architecture. The renovations helped save the theater, so that it could open again.

The reopening was in 1989 as a road house rather than a typical theater. Today live entertainment, cultural education, and other opportunities are possible at the WYO Theater. Performances such as Spencer Bohren, Kevin Locke, Singin' in the Rain, Mermaid Theatre Goodnight Moon, and Riders in the Sky have all been present over the last year. The Bellamy Brothers, A Christmas Carol, Rainforest Odyssey, Rocket and the Queen of Dreams, Tommy Sands, Mad Science Productions CSI Live, Chicago City Limits, and Colorado Children's Chorale have also been slated for 2010. Tickets are typically $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $7 for students. Ticket prices can vary based on performance, but the aforementioned prices are for general performances while $30 tickets are available for benefit performances.
