Breakdown

Daniel Fish is creating a revelatory, intimate chamber production of Oklahoma! pairing a new orchestration with the musical’s original book. This production, staged in the round with actors and audience sharing the same space, will be performed with 8-10 actors and no traditional chorus; a group of actors coming together to tell this classic tale playing all of the necessary roles within the story with some doubling.
