2025 SEASON SHOW

The first collaboration of famed partners Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma! set the American musical theatre standard. Set in Western Indian Territory just after the turn of the 20th Century, the spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the backdrop for the love story between Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a beautiful farm girl. The road to true love is anything but smooth, but there is no doubt that these two romantics will succeed in making a life together. As the road to romance and the road to statehood converge, Curly and Laurey are poised to spend their new life together in a brand new state: O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A – OKLAHOMA!

NOTE: In order to get the group rate you must call the Arts Center during their business hours of 10AM to 4PM Tuesday through Saturday.

If you have been wanting to try you hand at drawing or improve your existing drawing practice, local artist Ola Gordinier welcomes you to try some new ways of seeing and working with light and color. Whether you’re looking to add to technical skill, or relax in a form of drawing as meditation, all levels are welcome to join in this class.

Students are encouraged to bring a photo of a person or pet to work from, and Ola will guide them in creating a drawing based on their chosen subject matter. Over the course of the class, Ola will help students explore different ways of seeing/interpreting subject matter as they use their body as a drawing “instrument”.

Supplies are not provided, and students should bring their preferred materials including:

- Paper (basic drawing pad, sketchbook or pastel paper)

- Drawing material (pencils, colored pencils, or pastels– your choice)

ABOUT OLA

Ola Gordinier is a self-taught artist who creates pastel portraits– people, animals, and other images from imagination. Ola’s work strives to not just copy imagery, but bring out what is not visible in the subject matter.

100 YEARS OF HANK WILLIAMS

There is only one Hank Williams…and only one actor who can bring him to life…Jason Petty. Jason is the only actor to portray Hank Williams in New York City’s hit Off-Broadway musical, “Lost Highway”, where he won an Obie and multiple nominations for his performance. Only Jason has portrayed Hank in “Lost Highway” at Nashville’s world famous Ryman Auditorium. You want more proof…over a dozen appearances on The Grand Ole Opry. Hundreds of incredible reviews from the New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and more… thousands of shows played… millions of fans thrilled. Theatre owners, critics and audiences agree…Jason Petty is the original and the best.

“I played with Hank for many years and I was his best friend. No one in my time has come closer to Hank’s look, sound and natural charisma than Jason. He’s the best, hands down!“

-Don Helms (1927-2008), member of The Drifting Cowboys (Hank’s band)

Jason re-creates such Williams’ hits as “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, “Your Cheatin’ Heart”, “Hey Good Lookin’ ”, “Kaw-Liga”, “Cold Cold Heart”, “Lovesick Blues” and many more. But this astonishing show is more than just a Hank Williams tribute…thus the title. Jason pays tribute to stars that influenced Hank and those stars that Hank influenced. Backed by an authentic four-piece band, “100 YEARS OF HANK WILLIAMS” will make you smile, make you cry, and make you clap your hands and stomp your feet with excitement.

Don’t miss Jason’s award-winning performance as he brings Hank’s music back to life in this insightful, energetic show.

The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady’s vivacious niece, Meg, who’s engaged to the local minister.
