People can't say no to Oklahoma! Over 100 students put in many months of rehearsals to perfect the 1982 production of OKLAHOMAI, which Music Director Mr. David Reiser called one of the finest pro- ductions I can remember, and ranked among the top two or three musicals ever presented at PHS. Reiser attributed this success to strong leads and an enthusiastic sup- porting cast. OKLAHOMAI, set in the Indian Territory of the early 1900's, in- volves the romance between Curly McClain and Laurey Williams. Each is in love with the other, but both are 12 Oklahoma too stubborn to admit it. When they finally do, the courtship is complicat- ed by Jud Fry, who, envious of Curly, fights for Laurey's attention. Mean- while, providing a lighter touch to the show is the love triangle of Ado An- nie, Will Parker, and Persian mer- chant Ali Hahan. Annie can't make up her mind between the two suitors. Eventually, the problems are happily solved, with Laurey and Curly marry- ing, and Annie finally choosing Will. The show, presented on May 13, 14, and 15, 1982, sold out each per- formance, which was the first time this ever happened. '15f r7Pu
