Pairs + Pears! No, you’re not seeing double—or are you? Join us on Friday, November 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. for the community exhibition opening of "Two of a Kind?" This is a FREE community event.

This exhibition is an exercise in comparison. It invites visitors to consider pairs of artworks, drawn primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection, and contemplate the question posed by its title: are these artworks truly "Two of a Kind?" During the opening event at the Museum, explore all of our new fall exhibitions, socialize and play an animal pairing game, and enjoy free pear frangipane tarts from Salt Maven Catering + complimentary prosecco or nonalcoholic sparkling drinks from TLS. This event will be hosted inside the Museum.

Attendees are encouraged to explore all of our new fall exhibitions, including "Staff Picks" and "Tiffany Deater: What Lives Underneath."

Relative Theatrics is proud to present STRAIGHT WHITE MEN by Young Jean Lee in association with the SAFE Men program. The play runs November 7th through 15th in the Gryphon Theatre at the Laramie Plains Civic Center
Play Description:
When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?

The opening weekend of performances is November 7th and November 8th 2025 at 7:30 pm. Performances continue November 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th at 7:30pm. All performances are located at the Laramie Plains Civic Center in the Gryphon Theatre. A preview pay-what-you-can performance will take place at 7:30pm on November 6th, 2025. Additionally there will be a post show talk back immediately following the show on November 13th funded by the Wyoming Humanities Crossroad Grant.
