Cast Set for OKLAHOMA! at NTPA Repertory Theatre
Performances will run from June 13–22, 2025.
NTPA Repertory Theatre has revealed the cast of its upcoming summer production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, performing June 13-22, 2025, at the Rodenbaugh Theatre inside the Willow Bend Center of the Arts.
Oklahoma! marks Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration and remains one of the most innovative and influential musicals in theatre history. Set in a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, the story explores the spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys, set against the backdrop of a blossoming romance between Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl. Their love story intertwines with the comedic misadventures of the bold Ado Annie and the ever-hopeful Will Parker, in a heartwarming tale of determination, optimism, and the promise of a new land.
This professional production is part of NTPA's Plano Summer Musical Series and will feature adult professional actors alongside NTPA Summer Stock performers-talented students from top collegiate theatre programs around the country, including numerous NTPA alumni.
