EDUCATION
Education is at the heart ofwhat we do. The rehearsalprocess allows forensemble 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 theirstudents to work with us to
increase their skill level andexperience in the professional
theatre world.
Adhering to a strict rehearsal

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 tobe amused by Brecht's, and by Hardgrove's, demolition of thoseconventions. ~ Paul Sheckarski (Urban Tulsa Weekly)
