O-k-lahoma!
Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains!
Ok-lahoma where I laugh and laugh about the crazy antics on the stage!
Me, Stephanie, and my mom went to see Roane State’s production of Oklahoma last night. It was great. I had no idea what it was about. I had never seen a theater production nor the movie version. It was really funny. Just to give you a little insight into my personality, my favorite character…by far…was Ado Annie, the boy-loving, good time having, Persian goodbye/Oklahoma hello receiving floozy. She was hilarious. It was all good, though. Other than Laurie’s singing and speaking voice…she drove me up the wall. Curly was great, though.
I left my three small children in the hands of my two cousins, Punky (Tiffany) who is 15 and Kiah who is 12(?), as well as my brother Seth. We were only fifteen minutes away at the college, and I told them to call me if they needed anything at all. I just turned my cell on vibrate. I checked in on them at intermission, and they were fine. After the performance, Steph shared with me as we were walking to the car that in the middle of the second act she received a text message from Punky that said, “How do you make him quit crying?” Steph texted her back and said, “Bounce him.” When we got home, all three of my kids were sound asleep. Can’t beat that.
Now, I just have to write a little bit about the Oklahoma experience for my Speech class, and then I am going to write a concert report about it for extra credit in my Music class.
