It's fairly controversial and there are pros and cons to the meaning but I won't get into tht. It's up to your interpretations. The center is an awesome place for these types of events. It's a little pricey so do you due diligence before you decide to go or not.

My friend is currently taking some film classes at OCCC because she wants to film a documentary on…read moreBreathwork; what is is, what it can do, who it's for etc. Not bad for a 70 year old retiree and former hippie. Apparently one of the perks of being a student is she can get two free tickets to any performance at the OCCC Performing Arts Center. When she told me she wanted to go see Wizard of Oz on ice, I said "You know what? Heck yeah!" I love L. Frank Baum's original classic and while the story on ice took some liberties with the story (certainly an interesting interpretation) some parts of the original story were enacted as they were in the book. I was so blown away by the talent, the costumes etc that what really blew my mind was that these are not theater students at OCCC. These were professional performers that travel around and OCCC contracts them for a show. Tickets typically start around $30 and are free for students. That is just such a nice perk! I also have to mention that this center is state of the art. The seats we had were great (we expected nose bleeds and that was not the case) the lighting was top notch, the bathrooms were clean and orderly, the staff was professional and welcoming, the facility is maintained well. I have to come back to see something else, I believe in March they will be having a Pink Floyd laser show.

Saw Brighton Beach Memoirs witten by Neil Simon and directed by Terry Veal. Excellent. Again…read moreevery aspect professionally done. Wish I had taken a photo of the stage before the play started to share here. Two story stage worked well in how we were able to see the characters in private conversations which switched so smoothly between scenes. The play is set in 1937, in the Great Depression with the hardships of earning enough money to meet the family's needs. Serious subjects with lots of humor thrown in. Tears and lots of laughter. All the actors were amazing. So pleased Terry found a cast with so much dedication to the craft, down to perfect accents!

Their address is wrong on their website - due to construction in the area - i suppose. We drove…read morearound for half an hour trying to find it. When we arrived the grounds were in bad condition and run-down. The ticket person who i later read was the manager didn't even greet us and failed to offer us a playbill. The theater itself was definitely subpar; seats were so squeaky we were afraid to move for it disrupting the performance. The play was just ok but the actors were pretty good. Not impressed overall.

Upon entrance you see the will-call window. Enter through the red door to the left. There were a few tables with chairs in the middle, art for sale on the wall. And then double doors to the left to the theater and bathrooms to the right. All the way at the back had a small area selling drinks and snacks. They're advertised as a local theater, but the caliber of the talent was phenomenal. The actors transported us back in time to tell this beautiful and sad story. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance, so much so that we already got tickets for their next play, "Beer for Breakfast" (Oct 17-Nov 2, 2025).

There are 8 plays in the season but you can buy smaller packages. We sometimes are gone and use our extra tickets to later bring friends to a different play. That is the beauty of flex packs. CST has a great reception area with art on display and they sell drinks including cocktails, and snacks. The theatre scene is alive and well in Oklahoma. We also like Jewel Box Theatre and the Civic Center. The play's description: Winn Dottie and Ruth Hamilton have always kept their lives in order, living each day in rural isolation and contentment. All of that changes when the sheriff drops a battered teenager on their doorstep and asks them to keep them safe. The question is--can these two older women get past their own ingrained ideas of how life should be to protect a teenager they don't even understand? Making Sweet Tea and Other Secrets refers to all the hidden bigotry, prejudice and even brutality a town will turn a blind eye to, until forced to bring those secrets to light and fight back.

Really beautiful theater here; they have an indoor and an outdoor stage. The indoor theater is…read morestunning; I love the ambiance and earthy tones. The outdoor area is sloped perfectly, and it allows for an ideal stadium seating type view. They have a great speaker system for the outdoor area along with stadium style lighting. Lots of activity from birds and really beautiful nature around the outdoor space There are four entrances I could count... there may be more lol. Two are in the art gallery; one off of paseo drive and the other in parking lot off 29th and dewey. The other two entrances I saw led directly to the outdoor stage that came from the alley on the south between sauced and the theatre, and then 29th street on the north The art gallery is artsy and they have a small concession stand in there with canned beer, wine, water, soda, and some chips and candy. There's also a small clothing store/art gallery attached on the north side
