Texas High Tiger Theatre to Perform “Oklahoma”
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, will be performed later this month.
This production set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre that is still being followed today and becomes the next musical production for the Texas High School Tiger Theatre Company.
Set in a Western Indian territory, just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.
Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. Their adventures in making a new life together in a brand-new state provides the high point of Oklahoma!
Performances will be Friday and Saturday, January 12-13 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 14 at 2:00 p.m. Shows will be in the John Thomas Theatre of the Sullivan Performing Arts Center, 3941 Summerhill Road.
Advance tickets are available online for $10.00 Adults/$4.00 Students at their website. At the door, tickets will be $15 Adults/$5 Students.
