We are excited to announce that the 2024 Talent Machine Company Youth Show will be the beloved classic, Oklahoma.

Read Concord Theatricals' description of Oklahoma:

"The groundbreaking musical that set the stage for all that followed! Rodgers & Hammerstein’s exuberant classic is a lively, tuneful musical full of cowboys, farmers, romance and fearless optimism.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. 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."

Well-known classics from Oklahoma include: Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin', The Surrey with the Fringe on Top, I Can't Say No, and the title song.

All shows will be performed at the Pascal Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Anne Arundel Community College, 101 College Parkway, Arnold, MD. Free parking available in Lot A.
