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 cowboy, and Laurey, a 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. In this adaptation for pre-high school students, the content has been edited to better suit younger attention spans, but all the elements that make this show a classic remain.

GETTING TO KNOW… OKLAHOMA! is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers &
Hammerstein Organization. www.concordtheatricals.com
