Making Great Escapes

Enthusiasts call them escape rooms, but at Eleventh Hour Enigma in Tulsa, the doors aren’t locked and nobody is tied up. Instead, players work in teams to advance toward the exit by using their brains … and a few other body parts. “You get together a group of friends, co-workers or family members,” says Melisa McCelvey, president of the attraction....

Surrealism, Intrigue & Risk

Around Town The most important film event of January is out of reach for most Oklahomans: The Sundance Film Festival takes place in Park City, Utah. While Oklahoma doesn’t offer its own film festival this month, January does bring the good old-fashioned entertainment of an absurd awards show. Nobody would confuse the Golden Globe Awards with high culture, but they do...

A Divine Comedy

Celebrity Attractions brings the Broadway tour of The Book of Mormon to Tulsa for a limited engagement in January. This outrageous comedy follows a mismatched pair of missionaries with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sent from America to Uganda to spread the Gospel. The Book of Mormon is a nine-time Tony Award-winning musical by Trey Parker and Matt...

That’s How They Roll

At Fuji, the oldest Japanese sushi bar in Tulsa, you can sample some of the most mouthwatering rolls in town. Chef Nobu Terauchi grew up in Japan and worked in his family’s ramen shop; he brought those authentic Japanese tastes to Oklahoma. Standard sushi rolls are available, but you should definitely give Nobu’s 5 Fish Roll a try, along...

A Speakeasy for Our Time

In a few short blocks of glorious, gilded spires, Boston Avenue epitomizes downtown Tulsa’s glory days as Oil Capital of the World.

Just west of Boston, an alley runs north toward Fifth Street, hemmed in by tall brick cliffs. You...

Keep the Spirit Alive

It’s that time of year: The holidays are over, bills and cold weather creep in and you may feel down. It seems easy to give in to the temptation of lying on the couch and binge-watching TV, but studies show that inactivity during the winter months can lead to depression and the ever-dreaded weight gain. Instead of becoming a couch...

Coming Full Circle

For many people attracted to the arts, their college years are the final time they’re allowed to devote their energies toward what they really love, their last chance to immerse themselves in acting or writing or music before the real world and the business of making a living burst the dream of a life rooted in the joy of...

Where Stones Find Homes

Since its re-introduction to the Olympics in 1998, curling has gained popularity across the world, including in Oklahoma. You probably know it from watching on TV – teams of two or four furiously sweeping a sheet of ice in front of large granite stones to make them slide, or curl, toward a target area. It’s like a frozen, interactive game...

Alight with Holiday Cheer

As the weather turns wintry and the clock counts down toward Christmas Eve, Oklahomans have many options to get into the holiday spirit. The Rhema Christmas Lights Extravaganza dazzles its visitors again with more than 2 million lights decorating the bible college’s campus through New Year’s Day from 5:30 to 11:30 nightly. Admission is free. See rhemalights.org for information. Another cherished...
