Celebrity Attractions

Kristin Dotson, CEO of Tulsa’s Celebrity Attractions, dubs the coming year as their “biggest season to date – with seven shows across nine playing weeks,” she says. This season also brings four Oklahoma premieres with Moulin Rouge! The Musical; Mrs. Doubtfire; Clue; and Back to the Future. With so many excellent musical options to consider, Dotson says putting together a season can be tough, and mentions that it starts by talking to the loyal patrons.

“We are in the lobby of every show we present, talking to the audience members to hear what they’re excited about and what’s on their Broadway wish list for Tulsa,” she says. “Many of our staff members travel to NYC to preview every show that is running on Broadway. Additionally, we are members of the Broadway League and the Independent Presenters Network, giving us connections to the industry to hear and invest in what is in the pipeline for Broadway and touring.”

Along with the aforementioned shows, Celebrity Attractions is also bringing MJ the Musical; Cirque de Soleil Songblazers; Les Miserables; and Wicked. For those not-so-wild about musicals or the theatre in general, Dotson encourages you to “give it a try. Start with something short, or something familiar. This season we have Clue – it’s not a musical and runs 90 minutes without intermission. For something familiar, sample Mrs. Doubtfire or Back to the Future. Just take the leap to be part of the energy of a live audience.” To learn more about Celebrity Attractions or to grab season tickets, visit celebrityattractions.com.

Tulsa’s go-to venue for all things performing arts and music, the Tulsa PAC hosts the works of major national companies and local theater makers alike. Just some of the many partners of the Tulsa PAC include Celebrity Attractions, Theatre Tulsa, Tulsa Opera, Chamber Music Tulsa, Tulsa Symphony and World Stage Theatre company.

With offerings that include concerts, musicals, plays, operas and comedy shows, the TPAC is a versatile and accessible hub for the arts community.

Alongside hosting a bevy of entertainment events, the TPAC’s nonprofit programs are “growing bigger than ever,” according to Amanda Nichols, the center’s director of communication. “We’ll bring yet another class of [Tulsa Public Schools] kindergartners through our doors for a free show, thanks to our Any Given Child program,” she says. “Arts in the Air, our free outdoor concert series, will be back this fall. The Discovery Awards will, once again, celebrate the best in local high school musical theatre talent and send two lucky high schoolers to New York City for their Broadway debuts. After two successful years, the Orbit Arts Festival will be back and bigger than ever in spring 2025. We even have a brand-new program, Next Narrative, which celebrates local high school acting talent.” For more information TPAC’s offerings and the 2024-2025 season, visit tulsapac.com.

OKC Ballet 

Ballet, says OKC Ballet’s executive director, Jo Lynne Jones, “isn’t always pointe shoes and tutus.” In fact, she says the company’s 2024-2025 season has something for everyone – “from our free annual performance at Scissortail Park to Shorts which showcases edgy, contemporary performances. We are very intentional about making ballet more accessible to greater audiences, and music is a great device for that.”

This season kicks off with Ballet Under the Stars on Sept. 13 at Scissortail Park. The company then opens its Civic Center Music Hall season Oct. 18-20 with Peter Pan – where “everyone’s favorite characters [will be] flying across the stage,” says Jones.

Other goodies include The Nutcracker in December, which will “debut new sets, costumes and choreography … thanks to the generous support of Devon Energy and The Chickasaw Nation.”

In February, the company offers Swan Lake, and finishes the season in May with a new ballet to music from the Flaming Lips. If you want to get in on the action, visit OKC Ballet on Sept. 14 for the 2nd Annual Dance Day.

“If you have not been to our fantastic studio, join us for Dance Day which will feature free classes and performances celebrating every style of dance you can imagine,” says Jones. “Come dance with us!” For more information on OKC Ballet’s season, visit okcballet.org.

Tulsa Opera

Tulsa Opera, established in 1948, is the first professional performing arts organization in the state and the twelfth oldest opera company in North America. In its 76th season, Tulsa Opera’s line-up is sure to impress.

The fun begins Oct. 19 with Grand Voices: The Tulsa Opera Chorus in Concert. Combining the talents of the Tulsa Opera chorus and orchestra, Grand Voices offers a “thrilling concert of operatic chorus favorites,” according to Cindy Sadler, Tulsa Opera’s director of marketing. Next up is The Tragedy of Carmen, running Feb. 21 and 23. Following a disgraced nobleman-turned-soldier, Don José, and a beautiful, free-spirited Roma woman, Carmen, the show combines romance, tragedy and drama.

The Stabat Mater by Antonín Dvořák then runs April 26. Described as a “gorgeous, immersive experience of music, religious art and architecture,” by Sadler, the show follows the crucifixion of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Mother Mary. Following is Renée Fleming’s Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene on May 10. Starring superstar soprano Renée Fleming, hailed by The Guardian as the barrier-breaking “go-to soprano for royals, world leaders and Broadway musicals,” the show highlights a variety of Fleming’s works. 

The season ends on a high note with The Hobbit on June 7-8; the show offers the talents of the Tulsa Youth Opera and follows J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic from beginning to end.

If you’re unsure about visiting the opera, Sadler has this to say: “Forget the stereotypes and give us a try! Opera truly is for everyone. It can make you laugh, cry, gasp and tap your toes along to the music.” For more information on Tulsa Opera and its season, visit tulsaopera.com.

OKCMOA

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art – which houses everything from paintings to prints, photographs and sculptures, offers a groundbreaking 2024-2025 exhibition season. Running from Aug. 24 to Jan. 5, a new show puts the works of one of the world’s most well-known artists, Pablo Picasso, front and center. Included in the exhibition are seventeen progressive proofs and two published linocuts, which “explore [Picasso’s] artistic process and one of printmaking’s most fascinating and demanding mediums, the linoleum cut print,” according to okcmoa.com. The show, organized by Townsend Art Advisory LLC, examines the printmaking output of the artist in his last years of life.

The Three Shades, at OKCMOA from Aug. 24 to Aug. 23, 2026, is a single-gallery installation “featuring one of the masterworks of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin’s The Three Shades, on loan from a private collection,” according to the website. Often dubbed the “father of modern sculpture,” Rodin is considered one of the most renowned and influential French sculptors of the late nineteenth century. Lastly, Discovering Ansel Adams opens June 7 of next year. The exhibition provides “an unprecedented and eye-opening examination of the early career of one of America’s most renowned photographers,” according to okcmoa.com. With more than 100 photographs, the showcase spans Adam’s entire career. For more information about the museum’s programming and exhibition schedules, visit okcmoa.com.

Tulsa Ballet

Offering dynamic showcases from September through May, Tulsa Ballet’s 2024-2025 season welcomes beloved dance favorites and some new additions.

The season kicks off with Creations in Studio K, running Sept. 13-22, featuring works from three renowned female choreographers. “Each one of them brings something special to the program, which will make the 2024 Creation in Studio K performances strikingly unique,” says Marcello Angelini, Tulsa Ballet’s artistic director.

Next up is Dracula, running Oct. 31-Nov. 3. Returning to the Tulsa Ballet stage for the first time since 2018, this tale of bloodlust and destruction provides  “the perfect balance between storytelling, exciting dance, visual allure and the inevitability and consequences of Dracula’s magnetic grip on the opposite sex,” says Angelini.

Following is Peter and the Wolf, running both Nov. 8-9 and April 11-12. Scott Black, Tulsa Ballet’s managing director, dubs this piece as a “great entry point for someone who has never experienced a ballet performance.” A beloved Tulsa Ballet tradition, The Nutcracker, returns Dec. 8-22, followed by Alice in Wonderland, Feb. 27-March 2. The latter, an epic new work commissioned by Tulsa Ballet, was created by a team of artists who will bring the adventures of Alice to the other side of the looking glass to life. The season concludes with The Three Musketeers, April 3-6, as well as the Signature Series on May 8-11, which offers three spell-binding performances in one evening.

Oklahoma Contemporary

It’s a busy time at Oklahoma City-based Oklahoma Contemporary, with much to look forward to.

“I am most excited about the incredible lineup of exhibitions and programs we have planned over the next year,” says Trent Riley, the center’s executive director. “From groundbreaking contemporary art shows such as Outré West: The American School of Architecture from Oklahoma to California and Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds: Honor Song, to dynamic programs such as our Second Saturday Sensory Friendly Hours and community conversations, the next year will provide more opportunities than ever before for the communities we serve to connect with contemporary art.”

Honor Song, which Riley describes as a profound tribute to the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities, opens in February.

“We believe that art has the power to provoke reflection, inspire empathy and spark positive change,” says Pablo Barrera (Wixáritari), an adjunct curator with Oklahoma Contemporary. “Edgar Heap of Birds’ artwork remains an important part of the American cultural landscape, and supporting artists like Heap of Birds speaks to Oklahoma Contemporary’s mission to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the arts. We are excited to see how this exhibition will resonate with audiences and contribute to meaningful dialogue within the field.”

And to Oklahomans who wouldn’t normally find themselves looking at contemporary art in their off hours, Riley offers some words of encouragement. “Come and engage with the transformative power of creativity – you might just discover a newfound appreciation for the arts and learn a little about yourself too.” For more information on Oklahoma Contemporary’s exhibition schedules and other programming, visit oklahomacontemporary.org.
