I  t’s  the  same  every  year
                     The  leading  man  is  the  victim  of
               schoolgirl  crushes.
                   The  leading  lady  is  admired  by
               everyone.
                   The cast tries
               to make the  most
               of  every  show.

                                                          A  fever  is  rising  as  Jud  (Greg  Taylor)  thinks  about  his
               Theatre’s  production  of  “Oklahoma”  was   enemy,  Curly.
               not  an  exception.
                                                          To  the  rescu e.  Aunt  Eller  (Marilyn  Bremmer)  breaks  up  a
                 Actors  of  all  ages  entertained  crowds  of   fight  between  Curly  (Greg  Brinker)  and  Jud
               all  ages  with  boot  stompin’,  tobacco
               chewin’,  and  square  dancin’  fun.
                  Surrounding  the  Fourth  of  July
               celebration  for  the  second  year,  the
               production  fit  in  everywhere.  The  parade
               and  the  fireworks  display  were  highlighted
               when  the  cast  sang  favorite  numbers  from
               the  show  with  their  cast  t-shirts.  Many
               other  promotions  helped  advertise  the
               show.
                  Promotions  paid  off  again  as  sell-out,
                standing-ovation  crowds  rounded  out  the
                production  weeks.  When  the  dust  finally
                cleared  from  all  of  the  boot  stompin’,
                tobacco  chewin’,  and  square  dancin’  fun,
                Oklahoma  was  declared  a  state!
