Tulsa-area native Will Rogers was a multimedia star like no other before or since. A cowboy with a folksy sense of humor and mad rope-trick skills, he found success as a vaudeville performer, newspaper columnist, radio host, and stage and screen actor. He was the leading political wit and highest paid Hollywood movie star of his time. "The Will Rogers Follies" tells the story of his amazing life (1879-1935) in a series of Ziegfeld Follies-style song-and-dance numbers. With a book by Peter Stone, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the show won six 1991 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Mitch Adams and Cathy Rose star as Will and Betty Rogers in this production.

Oklahoma!
August 25, 2016 | 8 p.m. August 27-28, 2016 | 2 p.m.
The first collaboration between composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II remains, in many ways, their most innovative. It was one of the first Broadway musicals to fully integrate song-and-dance numbers — including “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re In Love” and the rip-roaring “Oklahoma!” — into the story. Set in Indian Territory just after the turn of the 20th century, the high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background against which Curly (Sam Briggs), a handsome cowboy, tries to win the heart of Laurey (Ruby Shadley), a winsome farm girl. With these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, their courtship is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, but the appeal of a brand-new life together in a brand-new state proves irresistible. Oklahoma, OK!
