Oklahoma!

Books and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
Music Direction by Lynne Morrow
Stage Direction by Adrian Elfenbaum
New Choreography by Nancy Lyons
A co-production of the Departments of Music and Theatre Arts & Dance
February 9 19, 2012
Evert B. Person Theatre

In the Indian territory of Oklahoma, at the turn of the twentieth century, two young cowboys compete with a ranch hand and a traveling peddler for the hearts of the young women they love. Set against the backdrop of a conflict between farmers and ranchers in 1907 Oklahoma, this musical tells the story of two pairs of lovers. Curly, a cowboy, and Laurey have trouble admitting their feelings for each other, due to their stubbornness. Jud, the hired hand on Laurey's farm, is also in love with Laurey. Her friend, Ado Annie is torn between Will, a cowboy who has just gotten back from an exciting trip to Kansas City, and Ali Hakim, a “peddler man” who likes Ado Annie but doesn't want to marry her. Laurey’s Aunt Eller and other community members complete the cast of characters illustrating the joys and dilemmas of creating a “brand new state.” -Lynne Morrow, Music Director

Loot

By Joe Orton
Directed by Judy Navas
March 8-17, 2012
Evert B. Person Theatre

Greedy, sexy, tawdry, frumpy and styl-ish, Loot is a flat out assault on anything sacrosanct. This outrageously hilarious romp is seen through the jaded eyes of mid-20th century English playwright, Joe Orton. His dark farce and comic masterpiece takes the classic whodunit to the next level when religious fervor and a deceased mother become a cover up for a bank heist gone wrong and an inept detective provides Ortons satirical critique of the bourgeoisie.
