If your New Year’s resolution is to get more involved in the arts in Oklahoma, we have you covered.
In Tulsa, support local by visiting Theatre Tulsa’s Oliver! at the PAC, running Jan. 10-16. Stick around the venue for Wagner’s Tristan and Isoldes, courtesy Tulsa Symphony, on Jan. 11. One of the world’s most beloved musicals, Les Misérables, returns to Tulsa courtesy Celebrity Attractions from Jan. 21-26; you won’t want to miss this enthralling story of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption at the PAC. And the PAC Trust brings Time for Three – a Grammy- and Emmy-winning violin/bass ensemble – on Jan. 27. If Tulsans haven’t gotten their fill, head to the TCC Van Trease PACE on Jan. 25 for Signature Symphony’s Pictures Reimagined, which offers aerial flyers and dancers courtesy Perpetual Motion Dance alongside the local musicians you know and love.
