Hip Hope Production of Oklahoma

Have you been wondering what has been keeping us busy since February? One of the many things is an all school production of the play Oklahoma. Robert was the design director which oversaw the people making all costumes, props and any other design element as well as the music director. There were two other directors. The main director and the choreography director. Last night we finished the fourth performance with a Thursday, Friday and two Saturday shows and it is finally all over!
This is Robert with the kids at Hope Academy practicing.

A video of the backdrop after it was painted in a warehouse.

We spent 2 weeks at the theater practicing and our kids would come home at night singing the songs and re-enacting the parts.















There were also students who ran the lights, sound, and scene changes.






These are the student crews and cast as well as the three directors. There were another 20+ adult volunteers who did so much to get this show done. It was so much fun but we are glad it is done.
