About Us
No other organization in Wyoming is dedicated to helping community theatres, both burgeoning and established, in nurturing their audiences and championing new and emerging talent.
I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
