Overview

Mission

Public Charity focusing on literary education and community outreach.

What it reported doing in 2025

True Troupe collaborates with other organizations to provide actors for their educational events. True Troupe has attended and provided services to Visit Cheyenne and City of Cheyenne for their respective projects of The Haunted Trolleys, where troupe members are placed as famous local ghosts along the route, and Christmas Elves, where troupe members assist children in writing letters to Santa while waiting for the Pony Express to arrive and collect the messages; and the Haunted Civic Center on 19th Street, where troupe members assist children through a haunted house to learn how to search for clues. True Troupe has also collaborated with various nursing homes around Cheyenne to spread holiday cheer in December, and for the past three years, has spent four weeks performing holiday carols for those in nursing homes. True Troupe volunteers this caroling time freely, and the troupe does not get paid for their services during this project. The Haunted Trolleys and the Christmas Elves are lent actors for a period of six weeks each, where the actors are provided costumes and props by True Troupe to most effectively perform with the other organization. The Civic Center is lent actors for the period of one week where the actors are provided costumes and props by True Troupe to most effectively perform with the other organization. These organizations, and our collaboration with them, have allowed True Troupe to benefit the audience and their children by providing a safe and entertaining environment for the children and adults to learn about Cheyenne and other topics provided by the other organizations.
