"Oklahoma" Show Looking for Actors and Actresses
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Auditions for the production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s "Oklahoma"! A varied cast of actors is needed. See more details below. About the project: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land. Additional info: Callbacks will be on Tuesday, December 16. The production is scheduled to open on Friday, March 20 through Sunday, April 19, 2026. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin on Monday, January 26, 2025. Special Performance Notes: This show’s ASL performance is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026. No performance on Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2026 Double performance day on Saturday, April 18, 2026 If you are interested, you are welcome to apply.
29 roles
Soprano. (Range: D4-E5 (opt. A5) (Femme Presenting) Emotionally available, a young woman who is independent, strong-willed (stubborn?), who lives with her Aunt Eller on a farm. She has an innocence yet an air of knowledge and quiet dignity about her. A young woman coming into her own strength and femininity, she is grappling with the idea that she must start to ‘adult’ in a world she does not yet fully understand.
Baritone. (Range: Db3-F4 (opt. F#4) (Masc Presenting) Hailing himself as the “best bronc buster” in the territory, Curly thinks everything’s going his way. A cowboy with a confident swagger, one is forced to question if he is in love with Laurey or if he’s merely in love with the idea of ‘winning’ Laurey in what has been one long game of cat and mouse.
Soprano. (Range: C4-E5 (opt. F5) (Femme Presenting) A vivacious and sincere free spirit who is headstrong and “boy-crazy” – or so the community would say. While she most certainly is in love with Will Parker, her dalliances with Ali Hakim and anyone else she sees fit, shows a remarkable sense of autonomy over her body, her sexuality, and femininity.
Tenor. (Range: Eb3-F4) (Masc Presenting) A cowboy who is in love with Ado Annie, Will is without a doubt the true ‘good man’ of the show. What some might call ‘not the brightest bulb in the bunch’ this charming, goofily thick-headed, prize-winning steer roper sees the world in black and white where what is right is good and what is wrong is bad. He is a strong singer and dancer with great comedic timing.
Baritone. (Range: D3-C#4) (Masc Presenting) A quiet, introspective, and truly sensitive farmhand who lives with Aunt Eller and Laurey, he is lonely, mysterious, and perhaps rough around the edges – creating a character who is socially awkward despite his physical strength. He has a questionable past and ‘needs’ to be in love with Laurey. Described as dark and brooding by others, Jud takes care of the ranch Laurey and Aunt Eller live on but finds true solace in his books, magazines.
Mezzo. (Range: D3-A4): (Femme Presenting) A respected no-nonsense woman in the community who is a mother figure to everyone despite never having mothered a child herself, she represents an interesting anachronistic idea in the community. She is a hearty woman of power and means who is self sufficient and has no man answering for her responsibilities. She employs a farm hand and directs him to the work of the farm.
Baritenor. (Range: F3-D5) (Masc Presenting, PERFORMER OF COLOR) A mysterious, smart, opportunistic, & shrewd traveling salesman who claims he’s from Persia (presently south western Iran), he most certainly is not telling the truth. A seducer, machismo, he, like Jud, is an outsider to this community but not feared by most. He likes pretty things and prettier women. A performer who is quick on their feet with excellent physical comic timing desired.
Tenor. (Range: E3-F4) (Masc Presenting) The local judge, a farmer and hunter of rabbits described by the community as Salt of the earth, Andrew is the over protective father of Ado Annie who is skeptical of cowmen, especially Will Parker, whom he believes to be living a risky and unreliable life in the rodeo. To prove this isn’t true, he asks Will to maintain $50 to have his daughter’s hand in marriage
Mezzo or Soprano. (Femme Presenting) An annoying girl from Claymore who has her eye on Curly. She is Laurey’s chief rival for Curly’s attention. Infamous for her startling, memorable, & grating laugh. She has eyes on Curly and isn’t waiting for Laurey to say no to him. Intimacy in the form of physical touch and possible kisses will be explored with Ali Hakim.
