*Oklahoma!*

Based on the 1931 play "Green Grows the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs

Directed and Choreographed by  Bebe Weinberg Katz

July 31 - August 9, 2015

Rodgers and Hammerstein's first collaboration remains in many ways their
most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of
musical theater still being followed today. Set in a western Indian
territory just after the turn of the century, the high spirited rivalry
between the local farmers and the cowboys, provides a colorful background
against which Curly, a handsome cowboy and Laurey, a winsome farm girl,
play out their love story. 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.

Open auditions for students grade 6 – college will be held Feb.7th and 8th,
 2015 at Hathaway Brown School.  In order for students to participate in
this production they must be enrolled for at least one 2 or 3 week summer
session of training. In addition, there is a production participation fee.

Department of the Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights for students 1st
