The Unexpected Company to Perform “Passing Through”

The Unexpected Company, a senior theater group, will perform a play called "Passing Through" about Laramie trains and passengers at the Alice Hardy Stevens Center. Show times are March 25 & 26 at 7 pm, March 27 2pm, April 1 at 7 pm and April 2 & 3 at 2 pm.  Tickets are $20 each and include refreshments; the proceeds go to the Laramie Plains Museum. Tickets are available in the Carriage House on the grounds of the Laramie Plains Museum and First Interstate Bank at Third and Ivinson.

"Passing Through" is a musical, historical review of Laramie's trains and passengers. Director and co-writer Susan McCraw said this play is about people who arrived in Laramie on the train and decided to stay awhile, even if Laramie was not their intended destination.

The vignettes depict people who, for whatever reason, impacted the community.

- President Theodore Roosevelt, played by Red Stalder, stopped in Laramie to present a gold cuff link to a Laramie resident.

- Mary O'Hara, played by Loretta Harak, was the author of "My Friend Flicka" and other books. She stopped in town on her way to a point between Laramie and Cheyenne.

"It will be entertaining and it is not very long." "There will be an intermission and food" - Susan McGraw
