The F-S Arts Council’s Summer Musical production of the beloved classic “Oklahoma” will be held on July 19, 20, & 21, at the historic Goodnight Auditorium in Franklin, KY. Oklahoma is sponsored by the Franklin Bank & Trust Company and Hunt Ford.
Co-Directors are Aaron Talley and Elizabeth Cook. 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. In March, 1943, “Oklahoma” launched a new era in the American musical. It also began the most successful songwriting partnership in Broadway history. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theater.
