Our partnership with highschools such as Central HighSchool in North Tulsa allow

for opportunities for theirstudents to work with us to

THETHREEPENNY OPERA

By Bertolt Brecht

It's not the kind of play you leave clutching your sides, but if

you're familiar with the conventions of theater then you're likely tobe amused by Brecht's, and by Hardgrove's, demolition of thoseconventions. ~ Paul Sheckarski (Urban Tulsa Weekly)
