Talented musicians from well-known orchestras participate in the Grand Teton Music Festival (tel. 307/733-3050; www.gtmf.org) held in summer in the amphitheater next to the tram lift. Tickets are usually available on short notice, especially for the weeknight chamber music performances, which are often terrific.
Wyoming's only year-round professional theater company performs at the Pink Garter Mainstage Theatre, 50 W. Broadway Ave. (tel. 307/733-3670; www.offsquare.org), and produces classic and contemporary comedies and dramas. Tickets (typically $10-$30) for all shows should be reserved.
Those less impressed with dramaturgy should head down to the Silver Dollar Bar, at 50 N. Glenwood St. in the Wort Hotel (tel. 307/733-2190), for a drink with one of the real or wannabe cowpokes at the bar. And, yes, those 2,032 silver dollars are authentic. At the very famous Million Dollar Cowboy Bar on the Town Square, at 25 N. Cache St. (tel. 307/733-2207), you can dance the two-step to live bands. If you want some high-octane dancing fun, head west to Wilson and the Stagecoach Bar (tel. 307/733-4407) on Wyo. 22 on a Sunday night. It's the only night there's live music in this scruffy bar and hamburger joint, and the place is jammed wall to wall.
