They'll probably go to the North or South Pole, because there is a dark, mysterious threat that Christopher is to be sent away to Education! Nobody knows exactly what or where that is, but if he's sent to such a distant place, what can his friends possibly do without him? As the situation becomes clearer, however, Christopher isn't quite so sure that running away is the answer. Address: 110 E. 2nd Street Days/Hours: Mon-Fri [-] |

| 7 : | SummerStage Tulsa [+]Date : July 7, 2012Time : Various Location : Tulsa Performing Arts Center Web : http://www.tulsapactrust.org SummerStage Tulsa is a performing arts festival held during June and July in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center's various theatre spaces. Performances include a variety of disciplines from musicals, drama, comedy and dance to cabaret theatre events. SummerStage Tulsa provides local arts groups and individual artists the opportunity to work together in forming a showcase of artists from Tulsa and the surrounding communities. The result is a cohesive, colorful, balanced, diverse and high-energy festival that culminates in a unique departure from main season arts events and one that offers something for everyone. The Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust is a major sponsor of the festival providing free rent/security and administrative support to all participants. SummerStage Tulsa history SummerStage was originally organized in the 1980s to provide entertainment opportunities at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center in the off-season. With no major productions scheduled during the summer months, the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust offered to underwrite the cost of rent and security to five local arts organizations if they would produce events during July and August. In 2003, the Board of Trustees created a task force to examine the SummerStage festival and to produce a new model that would better reflect the Tulsa community as a whole. The festival was expanded from six to eight weeks and provided a greater variety of entertainment choices. The task force wanted to see more family events, more dance, more world music and the participation of more local artists from Tulsa's diverse community. Today SummerStage includes more than 30 local artists and arts organizations performing in approximately 40 different events. SummerStage Tulsa continues to grow as we see the roots of Tulsa Fringe taking shape. Address: 110 East 2nd Street Days/Hours: Mon-Fri. 9 am- 5:30 pm Admission: Various fees and festival passes.

| 8 : | GYPSY [+]Date : June 15 - July 7, 2012Time : June 15, 28-29 at 8 p.m. June 17, 23-24 at 2 p.m. July 7 Location : Performing Arts Center, Tulsa Web : http://www.tulsapac.com Called "the greatest American musical" by numerous critics and writers, GYPSY is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of the famous striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee. The show focuses on the artist's domineering mother, Rose, as she pushes her daughters, Louise and June, to perform their vaudeville act across the United States during the 1920s, when vaudeville was on its last legs and burlesque was being born. Although Rose is the ultimate bossy stage mother, theatre critic Clive Barnes described her as "one of the few truly complex characters in the American musical" With a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy contains many songs that became popular standards, including "Small World", "Everything's Coming up Roses", "Some People", "Let Me Entertain You", and "Rose's Turn". Address: 110 E. 2nd Street Days/Hours: Mon-Fri [-] |
