Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma is proud to present
“Will Rogers” Musical Interactive!

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.

“My dream is that by providing this opportunity for YOU to enjoy Lyric Theatre’s OKLAHOMA! Musical Interactive, is that you will learn not only about our state and its history, but also enjoy the experience of live theatre.

Theatre opened up a whole new world for me as I was growing up. It made me think about things. It made me wonder about things. It taught me about life, to hope and to dream, it helped me understand that the world around us is filled with many different places, people and experiences, all waiting to be explored.

My hope for YOU is that YOU too will HOPE, that YOU will DREAM, that YOU will LEARN and I know YOU will then SUCCEED. I BELIEVE in YOU! ENJOY the show!”
