Putting on a musical is no small task. What you see on stage is the result of the talent and time of over 50 students, teachers, community members, and guest artists. I am so grateful to all who brought this story to life. As my students were promoting Oklahoma! in our community, they woud come and share with me the stories people would tell. People would tell them, "I did OKlahoma! when I was in High School...", "my church presented it and I was a part of it...", or "my mom was in Oklahoma!" It is a classic musical and is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. As you can see, it has inspired and entertained multiple generations. I am so glad to continue that traditon and present this piece of American history to our community.
I would like to thank the NUMEROUS people to made this experience possible for my students.
