Enjoy the songs, costumes, actors, and the entertainment of Lyric Theatre’s WILL ROGERS Musical Interactive tour for 2025-26. Learn about the life and influence of Oklahoma’s own Will Rogers! This show not only pairs well with lessons in Oklahoma History and Theatre but provides a fun and entertaining experience.
Intended to be a one-semester program, Lyric quickly realized there was a need in the community for such a program to be permanent after receiving an overwhelming response from teachers and students, as well as compiling a wait list of over 50 schools that could not be served within that year. In seeking long-term funding for the program, Lyric is excited to have forged a partnership with Devon Energy. Having generously supported Musical Interactive since its inception, Devon has continued to provide annual funding for the program.
During the 2023-24 school year we grew leaps and bounds thanks to our title sponsors Dr. Elliott R. Schwartz & Pam Shanklin. We are happy to report that we visited ALL of our 77 counties, over 300 schools and performed for over 140,000 students statewide!
Lyric’s Musical Interactive programs is a presentation that entertains and educates. The Interactive troupe will be traveling from September 2025 through May 2026. We offer performances during school hours, between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The show runs approximately 45 minutes and includes a “Q & A” session with the students at the end. In addition to the performance, students will receive a colorful guide filled with fun facts, puzzles and information. The program is FREE OF CHARGE to interested Oklahoma schools and is geared towards Elementary/Middle School Students.
Lyric’s Interactive Coordinator will use the information provided to determine the appropriate number of performances, and email the Primary Contact listed with proposed dates and times. The Interactive Coordinator and the school contact then work together to get your school on the 2023-2024 schedule.

Your performance time is when the show starts. If students get out of class at 9AM, you should ensure your performance is scheduled for 9:15AM to allow student travel and seating time. The Interactive group will not hold for longer than 10 minutes after the scheduled performance start time.
Yes, as long as the performance can still begin on time. For example, if the assembly begins at 8:30AM, schedule your performance for 8:45AM or 9AM. The group can load in while you are holding your assembly.
