Germaine was one of the founding members of The Unexpected Company

It is with sadness that Laramie Woman's Club received the news that long time member Germaine S.J. has passed away. She was an active volunteer with the Laramie Plains Museum, Wyoming Women's History House, The Unexpected Company, Ivinson Hospital, recounted the history of Downtown Laramie's red light district, and was a former mayor of Laramie, as well as many other activities. May she rest in peace.

ATTENTION: The Unexpected Company will be performing a play in November in memory of former member Cathi Carr-Lundberg, who wrote the play which was originally performed in 2015. The name of the play is “Looking For Leroy in Laramie” and is about Butch Cassidy. It is set in Laramie City and tells the fictional story of how Butch took up robbin' trains and ended up in the Wyoming Territorial Prison.

Auditions will be July 14th, 2-4pm and July 15th 5-7pm at the United Methodist Church, 1215 Gibbon. Enter using the east door to the Wesley Hall downstairs. The main cast has 5 women and 4 men with several additional side parts.

Production crew for the play is also needed, so if you can help with that please let us know. We still need a production manager, set builders, tech and sound help, publicity promotions, ticket chair and many other important jobs to make this production a success.

If you have any questions please contact Lorraine at [email protected].

Congrats to all who performed this past May in the Play/Write experience! Our company directed and performed two short plays--each written by a local 5th grader! Love it. See Play/Write... https://www.relativetheatrics.com/playwrite.html

Hello Unexpected Company members and guests;
Let’s Celebrate! The Unexpected Company will be 19 years old on March 5, 2024. The next meeting will be March 10 at the Alice Hardie Stevens Center on the grounds of the Laramie Plains Museum. The Board of Directors will meet at 2 pm and the Membership meeting at 3 pm. We will celebrate the last 19 years and look forward to and make plans for 2024. In April we will get 2 scripts from the Writer’s Workshop to produce and stage. We need directors, Stage managers, props Chair and costume Chair. If you can do any of these jobs, please step up and give it a try. It is an excellent place to start in producing and directing. These are very short plays, and we need to have directors in place before casting. If you are interested, please contact me or come to the March meeting. We had so much fun last year doing the plays the students wrote and meeting the students, I can’t wait to see what they write this year.
