KARNS CITY — Karns City High School will present the musical “Oklahoma!” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 28, March 1 and March 2 and at 2 p.m. March 2 in the high school auditorium.

Tickets are $8 in advance and $9 at the door. Tickets can be purchased by calling 724-756-2030, Ext. 1339.

“Oklahoma!” is set in the American Indian territory at the turn of the century when cattlemen and farmers were fighting over fences and water rights.

In the middle of that controversy are two more rivalries. One between a cowboy called Curley and a hired hand named Jud, both in love with Laurey. The second involves Ado Annie, Will and Ali Hakim.

The music and lyrics have proven to be some of the best in musical theater with songs that include “Oh What a Beautiful Morning,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” “People Will Say We're in Love,” “I Can't Say No” and “Oklahoma!”

Beth Ackelson is the director. Dorinda Aigner is music director, Robert Snodgrass Jr. is the choreographer and Judy Oshlick and Sara Ellenberger are assistants to the director.
