Youth Summer Stock Refund Policy
Full registration fees are typically paid at the time of enrollment. For families who need a little more time, whether you're finalizing your summer schedule, working on a payment plan with CLTP, or awaiting the outcome of a scholarship application, a non-refundable $100.00 deposit is available to secure your child's spot in the program while you get everything in order.
All registration fees, including fees for holding a place, for Youth Summer Stock are non-refundable. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to carefully consider their child's interest in the program and the production before completing registration. Once a student is enrolled, their spot is reserved and fees will not be returned due to withdrawal, scheduling conflicts, or changes in interest.
In the unlikely event that the Youth Summer Stock program is cancelled by CLTP, registered families will receive a full refund of all fees paid. However, if a parent or guardian wishes, they are welcome to donate their registration fees to CLTP in lieu of receiving a refund — and we would be deeply grateful for that generosity.
If you have any questions about this policy, please don't hesitate to contact us before registering at YSSProducer@littletheatre.org.

Happy Thanksgiving!
The theatre will be closed on Thursday, November 27th, and reopen on Friday, November 28th at noon, but we couldn't let Thanksgiving pass without sending a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community for all your support this year.
From filling seats at every performance to volunteering backstage, building sets, and bringing our productions to life, it has been an extraordinary year — and we truly couldn't do any of it without you.
Today, we're taking a moment to appreciate everyone who has made a difference:
To the audience members who laughed, cried, and applauded through every show
To our community sponsors who provided funding and resources when we needed them most
To our dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes, from costume design to ticket sales
To the actors, directors, and crew who poured their hearts into every production
To every supporter who shared our posts, spread the word, or simply believed in local theatre
We are so thankful for each and every one of you. Wishing you a warm, safe, and happy Thanksgiving filled with drama-free moments (unless they're the good kind)!
With gratitude, Cheyenne Little Theatre Players
In Loving Memory of
Connie Skoetsch
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and longtime supporter, Connie Skoetsch, who passed away on September 27, 2025, at Davis Hospice in Cheyenne.
Connie was a cherished member of the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players family for many years. Her dedication to our theatre was extraordinary—she generously volunteered her time and incredible talent as a seamstress to create beautiful costumes for countless productions. Her commitment and artistry touched every show she worked on and enriched our theatre community immeasurably.
Beyond her work with us, Connie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who gave generously to numerous community organizations throughout Cheyenne. Her warmth, kindness, and willingness to help wherever needed made
her a treasure to all who knew her.
We will deeply miss Connie's smile, her talent, and her unwavering support of the arts in Cheyenne.
Services will be private with family. In accordance with the family's wishes, memorial donations may be made to:

Obituary
Constance Joan (Skovgard) Skoetsch
April 1943 - September 27, 2025
She was born in April 1943 in Basin, Wyo., to Merle and Lylas (Olsen) Skovgard. She grew up there and after completing high school attended the Billings, Mont., Business College. From there she moved to Casper, Wyo., where she worked for one year before moving to Cheyenne.
She married Rolf Skoetsch in 1964, and they have two daughters, Rebecca and Erika, and ultimately granddaughter Kaycee.
Connie was a stay-at-home mom while the girls were young and stayed very busy with volunteer projects at the Sun Valley Swimming Pool, 4-H chapter, Girl Scouts, First Congregational Church, Bain Elementary School library, and the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players, Jessup Elementary as classroom aide, among others.
Besides being a great mother, and later grandmother to Kaycee, she was a wonderful wife and supporter to Rolf in his military and civilian careers. She also was a talented seamstress. She had been making clothes for herself and the girls all along, and then she was asked by the Grier Furniture store to try her hand at making custom window drapes, which she did for several years.
When Little Theatre needed a volunteer to make costumes, she stepped up and this turned into a multiyear commitment. She also made dresses for individual customers, as well as helping several 4-H girls with their sewing projects at the same time.
Over the years her handiwork supported projects for the Animal Shelter and Senior Citizen Center, with items ranging from baby receiving blankets to repairing horse blankets and ultimately sewing Covid 19 face masks.
When she got married, she worked at the Wyoming Highway Department. After the girls got older, she was employed, full or part time, at the Bain Elementary library, the School District Food Service, and finally the Wyoming State Engineer office from where she retired in 2010.
She loved living in Wyoming near family, her dogs, the horse she finally got after moving into the county, and the wonderful and peaceful horseback rides the family took whenever possible. Her special joy was watching granddaughter Kaycee grow up.
She is survived by her husband Rolf; daughters Rebecca Schooley (Eric) and Erika Warner (Brandon); as well as granddaughter Kaycee Warner.
Services will be private with family. In lieu of cards and flowers please donate to the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players or the Animal Shelter.
