CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The weekend is almost upon us, which means you made it through another week.

“Living under the totalitarian rule of the Party, Winston Smith has the idea of writing a diary,” the event page states. “It is a crime punishable by death and there is no way of knowing if he is being watched. He imagines two futures—in one, a future readership in a free society thinks of him as a hero; in the other, he is caught, executed, and forgotten. Perhaps both things are true. Winston starts the diary, writing the year, so far as he knows it: 1984. This multi-award winning adaptation of George Orwell’s ultimate dystopian novel continues to resonate throughout the world.”
Happening Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.
The Cheyenne Civic Center is hosting Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band on Friday, March 27 beginning at 7:30 p.m.
“For nearly four decades now, HOTEL CALIFORNIA has been recreating the legendary sound of THE EAGLES, and thrilling audiences all over the world,” the event page states. “Playing to huge outdoor and arena audiences, sharing bills with some of rock’s legends, and going places no tribute band has gone before, the band has remained the industry’s leading substitute for The Eagles ever since setting the bar in 1986. This is a long run by any measure, but it begs the question – what makes HOTEL CALIFORNIA so special? Well, incredible lead vocal similarity, intensely accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies, and top flight live performances, just for starters. These are the band’s hallmarks, and the foundation on which their reputation has been built. With over a century of collective professional experience in the band today, they’re going stronger than ever!”
