Shorecrest to present 'Oklahoma' as its spring musical

The Shorecrest High School drama department will present Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical “Oklahoma” from May 8 to 10 and 15 to 17 at 7:30pm and May 11 and 18 at 2pm in the school’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 and available through brownpapertickets or at the school. 

Rodgers and Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theater still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the 20th century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.
