The WYO Performing Arts & Education Center will celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the original Lotus Theater – now the WYO – with a performance by the WYO’s New Vaudevillians. The event recalls the original opening of the Lotus featuring the New Vaudevillian Band accompanying an impressive cast of local talent performing a variety of acts including comedy, magic, singing and dancing! And, to add to the fanfare, the evening will include free giveaways and a walking history of the Lotus/WYO with a chance to learn even more about the WYO Theater and what’s in store for the upcoming 2023-2024 season.
When the WYO Theater opened in 1923 as the Lotus, newspaper headlines proclaimed it “Wyoming’s Wonder Picture Palace!” The opening night audience was entertained by a program of singing, dancing, and comedy acts, musical selections by the 15-piece Lotus Orchestra, and feature movie, Enemies of Women, starring Lionel Barrymore and Alma Rubens.
Take a step back in time and join the celebration with the WYO’s New Vaudevillians and the WYO/Lotus 100-year Anniversary performance on August 25!
