The Pollard Theatre is celebrating their 28th season of performances! August 9 at 7 p.m. in the Sand Plum Event Center they will have their annual Gala with dancing, great food, and an auction. The proceeds from the Gala go to help subsidize the operation of The Pollard and ensure that they are able to continue to provide some of the best quality live theatre in Oklahoma. Tickets can be purchased by calling 282-8890.
August 22 through September 13, the Pollard Theater presents “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. The show’s Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time, Parental Guidance. To purchase tickets go online at thepollard.org.
The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus is coming to town, September 19 and 20! This circus is out of Hugo Oklahoma and entertained friends and families two years ago in Guthrie. Stay tuned for more information!
