OKLAHOMA
by Rodgers & Hammerstein
Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is more than a musical - it is a landmark of American history, a cultural phenomenon.
With its perfectly integrated music, lyrics, characters and story, from the moment the opening bars of 'Oh what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day' soar across the theatre, its audience is drawn irresistibly into the world of one of the most loved musical romances of all time.
Joyous and bursting with vitality, it tells the captivating story of Oklahoma farm girl, Laurey, forced to choose between Curly, the happy-go-lucky cowboy she loves, and Judd, the mysterious loner she fears.
A classic Rodgers and Hammerstein production featuring many enduring musical standards - among them:
Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'
The Surrey with the Fringe on Top
People Will Say We're in Love
and the title song,
Oklahoma!

Orchestra cordially invites the public to attend, and reminds everyone that the orchestra is always looking for new members.
The Fine Arts County of Effingham (F.A.C.E.) originated in 1974, formed by individuals who felt a desire of artistic expression wished to join with others in performing and advancing the overall awareness of the arts. These volunteers set a campaign to promote and encourage the development of drama, painting, music and dance in the Effingham area. Today, F.A.C.E. has expanded its exposure, production and involvement in the artistic affairs in Effingham. Our community now has an opportunity to participate, enjoy or sponsor programs of orchestral and choral music, as well as theatrical performances. In addition, F.A.C.E. offers annual scholarships to area students to further education and exposure to chosen mediums of artistic interest. F.A.C.E. is a not for profit organization governed by a Board of Directors from the Effingham county area. These volunteers devote their time and resources to ensure this organization flourishes and responds to the creative needs of Effingham county. This Board also works closely with the Effingham Art Guild for the extension of the visual and physical arts medium. Our organization welcomes anyone who desires to participate in the purpose of this group. F.A.C.E. nurtures these volunteers in directing, acting, stage craft, lighting, sound, and costume design as well as all other aspects of production. Musical and vocal participants can enjoy the opportunity to perfect their craft as well. To become a member of F.A.C.E. see the information under "membership".
