Reviving Laramie’s historic WYO Theater
Laramie residents were eagerly looking forward to Thursday, September 8, 1949. That was grand opening day for Laramie’s new WYO Theater. But was it really new? Yes and no. The WYO was a new name, but the building was a remodel of the Crown Theater on 5th St. that opened on September 2, 1928. It has been mostly closed for several years but efforts are underway to restore it for community use.
