(Fremont County)- Central Wyoming College Theatre is preparing to raise the curtain on its 2026–27 season, bringing four productions to the Robert A. Peck Arts Center in Riverton. In this episode, we look ahead at the upcoming season with new CWC Theatre instructor and director Annette Benn Thornton, who brings decades of experience in theatre education, directing and community arts. Jennifer Marshall-Weydeveld also joins to talk theater and the scope of Central Wyoming College. The season opens Oct. 22 with “Godspell,” followed by the holiday production “The Gift of the Magi” in December, Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs” in March and the Broadway favorite “Matilda The Musical” to close the season in April and May.
