Oklahoma– July 2014.
Set in Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, this high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides the background for cowboy Curly and farm girl Laurey who are in love with each other but refuse to admit it. Mix in flirty Ado Annie who is currently infatuated with Ali Hakim who fears marriage and tries to pawn Ado off on Will who truly loves her and the scene is set for wonderful music, great dancing, and terrific summer entertainment.
A Christmas Carol – December 2013.
Ebenezer Scrooge turned from a grumpy, miserable miser into a really nice guy before this 2013 Christmas Carol production ended and audiences fell in love with Durham McCotter, the cute little 6-year-old who played Tiny Tim. Several cast members repeated their roles, including Stuart Waldrip as Scrooge, Lhomond Jones as Marley, and Terri Caldwell as Mrs. Scrooge who played their roles for the fourth time. Steve Stoddard as Christmas Present and Randy Birch as The Beadle joined the cast for the third time, and Tristen Caldwell played The Ghost of Christmas Present for the second time. The show was a wonderful way to bring the joy of the Christmas Spirit into the season.
