WYO Theater receives matching pledge for WyoGives from generous donor 

Thanks to long-time supporter Christy Love, donations made to the WYO Theater on July 13, through WyoGives will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $6,000.

WyoGives – an initiative of the Wyoming Nonprofit Network — is a statewide 24-hour online fundraising event designed to bring the state together as one community in fellowship to raise money and awareness for Wyoming’s nonprofits.

The WYO Theater is participating in WyoGives with the goal of raising funds to purchase a new projector for the theater. 

According to Executive Director Erin Butler, part of the WYO’s vision is to provide world-class arts for the Sheridan and Johnson County communities. This vision is met through programming that requires the use of a high-definition projector. Without a new projector, the WYO would no longer be able to offer monthly viewings of The Met Live in HD or National Theatre Live, which streams live opera and theatre productions from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City and the National Theatre in London. Nor would the theater be able to offer events that require the use of a projected image like demonstrations, lectures or film series’. Any donation will help the theater meet this goal and provide new artistic opportunities for our community.

In addition, the Wyoming Nonprofit Network has arranged a dollar-for-dollar match to many online donations made to support the nonprofit sector in Wyoming. Visit wyogives.org anytime on July 13, to donate to the WYO Theater.
