Caspar Collins Day, Ft. Caspar Museum, 27 July 2024. The Grex appeared as soldiers, pioneers, and other characters from the American West circa 1865. We performed interactively with the public in an immersive setting, marking our first gig of its kind.

Splush ACT: A Happening. Bored with white walls, we invited the public up to the Studio to indulge in some mid-20th century style action painting. This activity is highly cathartic and strongly recommended for anyone needing to offset stress or get rid of old paint, or both.

The Fringe, August 8-11, 2024: Thanks to our friends at the Lyric, we now have what will soon be an institution in Casper: an annual performing arts festival showcasing theatre and performance from around the region. TotP reprised The Bald Soprano, played on a continuous loop for two hours. We are grateful to be on the ground floor of this important initiative, which we hope everyone will support in 2025.

TotP Kids/Actors’ Master Class: Funded in part by an Arts Learning grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, we offered a free eight week workshop for kids in which we taught acting technique through theatre history. Our 12 apprentice thespians made masks in the Greek style and performed a showcase of excerpts from the plays themselves. It was magical, and we can’t wait to reprise it in 2025. First Sunday Master Class was designed for adults wishing to explore acting or hone their skills. We had excellent feedback and are pleased to have “launched the careers” of two participants who are now working on their second show at Stage III. Congratulations to Ashley and Marie!

State Drama: An absolute blast! We set up our table at the Wyoming High School Drama Festival, and when we weren’t adjudicating events or giving workshops, we were talking to students from all over Wyoming and meeting some great people. Many thanks to our friends at WEST.*
