When you check out a show at the Casper Children's Theatre, you may be witnessing the stage debut of a future Julia Roberts or Tom Hanks. And while it may be years before that fact is determined, you can definitely enjoy the fun productions and entertainment that this highly talented group of young performers consistently presents. The theater's mission is to teach kids life skills through stage skills, and that mission continues to be pursued as the theater has presented an impressive 289 performances over the past seven years.
The Casper Marathon is held every June and it stands as a very dramatic reminder of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Participants are invited to "run with the herd" in an event that is half marathon, half marathon relay. The marathon is staged by the Casper Windy City Striders, the city's running club. Even though the group that organizes this event has literally logged thousands of miles in their respective races and daily runs; every effort is put forth to make this festival nothing short of a runaway success.
