With an outstanding cast of twenty-five middle-school students, the world of the play surrounded Wilbur (Connor Lohman), the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern (Emily Scinta), a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton (Frank James), the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family (Caitlin Hanley and Tucker Keel); the Arable family (Nick Conroy, Emily Lyman, and Samantha Kamen); and most of all, the extraordinary spider Charlotte (Cat Gallagher), who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.”

Based on a stage play by Lynn Riggs, the simple but serious plot shows pioneering men and women of the American Southwest settling in the territory of Oklahoma at the beginning of the twentieth century. With themes of romance, unrequited love, and tolerance, Oklahoma! is best known for its memorable ballads and rousing dance numbers.
Congratulations to cast and crew on a great production!
