Oklahoma!
– Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first masterpiece – sweeps onto the
Fallon House stage this summer. Sierra Repertory Theatre is proud to
present an outstanding cast in this finely crafted classic, a
celebration of the American spirit of courage, independence and feisty
good fun. It plays at the Fallon House theatre in Columbia State
Historic Park from June 28 through August 18.
Set
in the Western Territory just before Oklahoma became a state, the show
was an instant smash when it debuted 70 years ago and set a new standard
for the American musical.
“This
show captures a spirit and time that is so appealing,” said SRT
Producing Director Dennis Jones, who is directing the show. “It was a
new beginning for the country, a joy about life – the future looked very
bright. That’s what they were celebrating when they wrote this and
that’s why it’s still so popular.”
