Greater Lewisville Community Theatre

Oklahoma!

Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
Based on a book by Lyn Riggs
Directed by Connie Salsman

July 11–August 3

Oklahoma! was the first American musical where songs and dances grew out of the characters and their emotions rather than just the story or the need for singing and dancing. It was also the first musical with a “rural” theme and the first to have its score recorded. GLCT first brought Oklahoma! to Lewisville audiences at the Vista Ridge Amphitheater in 1992.

Tickets $15 for adults, $12 for seniors (65+) and juniors (under 18).

Auditions will be held May 18 & 19, at 7:00 p.m., at the theatre. Please bring a non-returnable headshot and your resume. Prepare two songs that show your vocal range, if possible. Email Connie Salsman (salsmanc@yahoo.com) with questions. Singers, dancers and actors of all ages will be cast. The show has 7 principals and many parts for "chorus" members.  In addition, assistance with costumes, set construction, scenic painting, and props management is sought.
