2018-19 Season
Oklahoma!
Directed by Mike Huelsmann
Oklahoma! is based on Lynn Riggs’ 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs. It is the first collaboration between the two writers, Rodgers and Hammerstein. The duo later created some of the most famous and well received musicals in the history of the Broadway stage. The story is set in the territory of Oklahoma near the town of Claremore in 1906.
The spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the backdrop for the love story between Curly, a handsome though shy ranch hand, and Laurey, a beautiful farm girl. Will Parker, Ado Annie Carnes, and Alli Hakim in a love triangle provide much of the comic relief. Add in Judd Frey, the not so reputable hired hand who has his eyes set on Laurey, as the villain and you have one rip-roaring story.
