Founded in 1930, the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players (CLTP) is one of the oldest community theatre groups in the United States, as well as one of the oldest continuously operating organizations in Cheyenne, WY. CLTP achieved 501(c)(3) status in 1940. CLTP is the only theatre group of its size to own and operate two venues: the Mary Godfrey Playhouse and the Historic Atlas Theatre. CLTP is powered by volunteer efforts with the help and support of sponsors, patrons, and friends like you!

HISTORIC ATLAS THEATER: Constructed in 1888 as offices and a tearoom, the Atlas Building was converted to a theater in 1908. Master Wyoming architect, William Dubois, drew up the plans for the conversion, which called for seating of 500, a stage sufficient for the traveling companies of the time, a soda fountain, a penny arcade, and a confectionery parlor. Today, the Historic Atlas, which seats about 250 people, is used both for the Old Fashioned Melodrama and for CLTP productions. Other groups, as well as private individuals, frequently rent the space for weddings, meetings and performances. The historic theater is in need of major renovation, and this project is one of the CLTP’s major priorities. The Historic Atlas Theater is located in the heart of downtown Cheyenne at 211 W. Lincolnway, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
