(MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- The Mighty Oak Players present the legendary musical Oklahoma! weekends from July 21 to July 30th at the Monroe Township High School Performing Arts Center.  As the first collaboration of famed partners Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, Oklahoma! set the American musical theatre standard. 

Set in Western Indian Territory just after the turn of the 20th Century, the spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the backdrop for the love story between Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a beautiful farm girl. The road to true love is anything but smooth, but there is no doubt that these two romantics will succeed in making a life together. As the road to romance and the road to statehood converge, Curly and Laurey are poised to spend their new life together in a brand new state: Oklahoma!

Based on the 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs, by Lynn Riggs, Oklahoma! is the first musical written by the legendary team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
