“What a great way to support the cast and crew of ‘Oklahoma!’ while enjoying a delicious lunch at the Culinary Café,” said Angela Bacarisse, professor of theatre and director of “Oklahoma!”

Based on Lynn Riggs’ 1931 play, “Green Grow the Lilacs,” “Oklahoma!” is the first musical written by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, features choreography by Agnes de Mille.
Patrons attending the fundraiser will have the opportunity to meet the student stars of the show and hear a preview of the familiar songs from “Oklahoma!” Guest host will be Brad Maule.
