Performers Needed for "Oklahoma!" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Oklahoma!" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Oklahoma! is the landmark first collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, adapted from Lynn Riggs' 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs. Set in 1906 in the farm country near Claremore in what was then Native American Territory, the musical follows farm girl Laurey Williams as she is courted by the charming cowboy Curly McLain and the menacing farmhand Jud Fry. A subplot centers on the comedic romance between Will Parker and his spirited fiancée, Ado Annie. This groundbreaking show helped define the "book musical," where songs and dances are seamlessly woven into the plot to support character development and storytelling. This show blends heartfelt drama with humor, romance, and iconic American themes. Oklahoma! brings a fresh twist by incorporating country and bluegrass elements into the classic score, offering a musical experience that feels both nostalgic and newly vibrant.

14 roles
Soprano, A strong-willed, independent farm girl with a romantic soul. Laurey is caught between her feelings for Curly and her desire to maintain control over her own life. She is sensitive but spirited, with a layered emotional range.
Baritone A charming, confident cowboy with a teasing grin and a heart full of love for Laurey. Curly has an easy swagger and a romantic streak, often expressing his feelings through song. Must have strong vocal and acting skills with leading-man charisma.
Mezzo-soprano The practical, no-nonsense matriarch of the community. Wise, humorous, and tough as nails, Aunt Eller keeps the peace and sees more than she lets on. A grounded performance with warmth and wisdom is essential.
Tenor A lovable, enthusiastic cowboy who’s head-over-heels for Ado Annie. Will is optimistic and a bit naïve, but full of energy and charm. A strong singer and physical comedian, dance experience is a plus.
Baritone. A dark, brooding hired hand on Laurey’s farm. Misunderstood and socially isolated, Jud's obsession with Laurey reveals the dangerous edge of his loneliness. Requires a powerful presence and strong dramatic skills.
Soprano A flirtatious, funny, and unapologetically honest young woman who “cain’t say no.” Ado Annie’s heart is big—even if it tends to be given away a bit too freely. Excellent comedic timing and a bold personality are key.
Speaking/Singing A fast-talking peddler who claims to be from Persia with a quick wit and a knack for getting into (and out of) trouble. Ali brings comic relief and should be played with sly charm and physical comedy flair.
Alto or Soprano A local girl with an unmistakable (and hilarious) laugh, Gertie has her eyes set on Curly. A small but memorable comic role.
Tenor Ado Annie’s protective and blustery father. Quick-tempered and set in his ways, but also funny and full of frontier pride. A great character role with comic punch.
Speaking Role The town’s Federal Marshal, who officiates the legal hearing near the end of the show. Dry, level-headed, and authoritative.
