See the season’s brochure and purchase tickets online at http://theatre.okstate.edu.
The first offering for the fall 2014 semester is “Eurydice” who dies on her wedding day . . . or does she?

Next, return with us to an audience favorite, “As You Like It,” by William Shakespeare, and directed by Andrew Kimbrough, the new head of the OSU Theatre Department. Join Rosalind, Orlando, and the rest of the motley crew as they flee tyranny and seek love in the magical Forest of Arden with performances Nov. 20-22 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2:30 p.m.
The spring 2015 semester blooms with suspense in “The 39 Steps,” adapted by Patrick Barlow from the Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name, and directed by Lloyd Caldwell.
