* OKLAHOMA*
by Rodgers
& Hammerstein based on a play by Lynn Riggs
Directed by Kathy Collins and Anita Ambrose
Oklahoma is set in the American Indian Territory at the turn of the century.
A ranch hand, Curly is infatuated with Laurey who lives with her well respected and motherly Aunt Eller. Unfortunately, Curly and Laurey are both too proud to admit they love each other, and Laurey accepts an invitation to the local dance from Jud Fry the farm labourer, a dubious character, just to spite Curly.
Meanwhile, Will Parker has returned early from his trip to Kansas City where he had won enough money, at a roping competition, to marry his sweetheart Ado Annie. Unfortunately, Ado Annie, just can’t seem to say no to other men especially the wily Persian peddler Ali Hakim.
Curly gets snatched
up by Gertie Cummings and Laurey dreams of her future, both of which have
the effect of bringing Laurey and Curly to their senses. Then, everybody
attends the Box Social, which is a fund-raiser for the building of a schoolhouse.
In the end Curly and Laurey are married but a drunken Jud returns to spoil
the occasion and he and Curly duel it out, with Jud ending up falling
on his own knife and dying.
Oh by the way, in the end everyone, except Jud, lives happily ever after.
