Winner of 9 TONY Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler On The Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince, songwriters Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, and book writer Joseph Stein. (www.mtishows.com)

Set in the little village of anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.  Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

The Compleat Works of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) (Revised)

Event Date
7:30 pm

Chalmers Herman Theatre

Author: Reduced Theatre Company
Director - Dr. Richard Groetzinger

Three actors work together to present, to some extent, all 37 plays of William Shakespeare in about two hours' time.  The result, a hilarious comedy with a million props and a gazillion laughs.  And you don't need to be a Shakespeare aficionado to appreciate this slapstick look at his histories, his comedies, and his tragedies.

Don't look away, you might miss something. Two casts, one of all men, one of all women, will alternate shows, so you'll want to come back and see it again.

"An Obie Award-winning tour of a forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who 'liked to look at it.'"

Frontier Brass Band

Event Date
7:30 pm

Ataloa Theatre

The Frontier Brass Band is performing this Saturday night, August 22, in the Ataloa at 7:30pm.  The concert is free and open to all.

The group was formed a year and a half ago, and it was a thrill for me to get to conduct their 1st performance.  Outstanding brass and percussion players from central Oklahoma comprise the group, including many of the symphony musicians.  Much of their repertoire is from the British brass band tradition.
