EDUCATION
Education is at the heart ofwhat we do. The rehearsal process allows for ensemble members towork with the lessexperienced, therebyincreasing their awarenessof the theatrical arts.
Our partnership with highschools such as Central HighSchool in North Tulsa allow
for opportunities for their students to work with us to
increase their skill level andexperience in the professional
theatre world.
Adhering to a strict rehearsal
schedule, we hope to train thetheatre artist with the skillsneeded to fully participate ina professional anddependable manner.Education and training is atthe heart of everything we do.

THETHREEPENNY OPERA
By Bertolt Brecht
“It's not the kind of play you leave clutching your sides, but if
you're familiar with the conventions of theater then you're likely to be amused by Brecht's, and by Hardgrove's, demolition of thoseconventions.” ~ Paul Sheckarski (Urban Tulsa Weekly)
