Shawnee High School’s spring musical, ‘Oklahoma!’ beginning Feb. 20

Shawnee High School will present Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” as their spring musical. The show opens on Friday, Feb. 20.

Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. This fun-filled show provides comedic banter with beautiful singing and story telling dances that bring this classic Golden Age musical to life.

“Oklahoma!” will be performed at the Shawnee High School auditorium on Feb. 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at 7 p.m. There will also be a matinee performance on Feb. 21 at 2 p.m.
