Wyo Theater, Sheridan Wyoming, for Cellpic Sunday

For Cellpic Sunday, Johnbo showed us a wonderful old movie theater and relayed his memories of it. Here is a photo of another  beloved old movie theater transformed into a performance and events halls in Sheridan, Wyoming, and below is the  comment I left on Johnbo’s post:

A finely captured photo that roused great memories of back when movies and radios were the only entertainment offered media-wise. Our little far-less-grand theater in Murdo, South Dakora, showed the same movie twice a week on Saturday and Sunday. 25 cents a seat. White River, 23 miles away, charged 10 cents a seat and had movies on Wednesdays, as well. Draper, 7 miles away, a different same movie on Saturdays and Sundays, offering indulgent parents or teens over 16 who had their license and folks willing to lend a car the chance to see three different movies a week. Not often done, but the only entertainment offered other than church, ballgames and “Uing Main Street.” Sound familiar?

P.S. I never lived in Sheridan, Wyoming, but had three best college friends who lived there and a sister who married a guy from there and lived there for 30 years or more, so I’ve visited it often.
