OKLAHOMA YOUTH EDITION
7:30 pm, Newnan Theatre Company, 24 1st Avenue, Newnan • 770-683-6282
This 3-night performance is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration and remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land. Tickets are $15 for Adults, $12 for Seniors and Students and $7 for Children 5 and under. To purchase tickets, click HERE.
