Beat the heat by enjoying a variety of showcases, performed by arts companies around the state.
First, you won’t want to miss the best-selling musical of all time: The Lion King, coming to the Tulsa PAC June 1-17 courtesy Celebrity Attractions. Become mesmerized by the compelling story of Simba as he goes on a journey to find himself with the help of his ragtag crew – including Nala, Timon and Pumba. Celebrity Attractions also brings the most beloved Beatles tribute band to the PAC – 1965 … The Tribute – on June 23. Also at the PAC, you can enjoy Some Girls from June 2-11. The story follows a single man’s odyssey to find the perfect girl … whom he’s already broken up with.
In OKC, offerings abound. Smash-hit Hamilton finishes out its run at the Civic Center Music Hall through June 4, courtesy OKC Broadway. Also at the Civic Center, don’t miss Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma’s The Sound of Music, running June 27-June 1. Classics fans should visit Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park’s Much Ado About Nothing, June 8-18 in the Shakespeare Garden. Other goodies include Painted Sky Opera’s presentation of La Boheme, June 23-24 at Rose State College Hudiburg Chevrolet Center in Midwest City, and Unboxed by OKC Ballet, described as “a celebration of contemporary dance by three world-renowned choreographers at the top of their fields.”
You can also venture to Guthrie’s Pollard Theatre to view Little Shop of Horrors from June 9-July 1.

Each year, the Oklahoma Higher Education Heritage Society has a Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Pictured below are the 2022 inductees.

Formal education and training have created great success for many Oklahomans, and the Oklahoma Higher Education Heritage Society (OHEHS) is a nonprofit organization committed to preserving and celebrating the higher education system in the state of Oklahoma.
The OHEHS, along with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the Oklahoma Historical Society, are in a tripartite partnership to establish the nation’s first state higher education archive.
Founded in 1994 and housed in the research division of the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma Higher Education Archive is available for students, educators and the general public. It is also searchable through the society’s online catalog.
John Feaver, Ph.D., the immediate past president of OHEHS, believes the preservation of heritage is one of the strongest tools to educate the citizens of Oklahoma.
“As the society is concerned with the heritage and the history of higher education in Oklahoma, the notion is: One cannot understand the importance of the present circumstances of the [higher education] system or where [the system] will be going in the future, unless one understands where it comes from,” he says.
The Future of Higher Education
Feaver and Belinda Biscoe, Ph.D., who is the current OHEHS president, believe that higher education is undergoing a profound transformation, further emphasizing a need for a deeper understanding of Oklahoma’s past – accomplishments and failures. This knowledge aids Oklahoma’s success in a changing education system, allowing the state to become more competitive in a global context.
“‘Tomorrow’ is not a hundred years away, we’re maybe talking about next year,” says Biscoe, concerned that a state unaware of its history might not be able to adapt to change. She believes higher education teaches people to be “nimble, taking that learning and applying it in other ways.”
One of the society’s biggest goals is to educate others about the critical importance of higher education in the state.
“People are sometimes unaware of the fact that education and quality of life are woven together,” says Biscoe, adding a list of potential benefits as byproducts when a state’s citizens are well-educated, including: higher socioeconomic standing, better physical health and lower divorce rates.
Biscoe says one of the society’s biggest challenges is being, “small but mighty,” applauding all the volunteers that keep the society running. There is a capital campaign hoping to generate enough money for minimum staffing.
“If we had additional resources, we would be able to expand our work,” says Biscoe.
Long term goals include forums, webinars, blogs and outreach programs to involve citizens (those especially looking for higher education opportunities) around the state. The society also wishes to build a stronger community with higher education institutions.
Celebration is something the society does well, promoting the belief that by celebrating greatness, the state will see it multiply. There is an annual induction banquet for the Higher Education Hall of Fame, recognizing high achieving professionals in scholarship, teaching, research, administration, staff support, outreach and public service.
“Systems do not maintain their vitality, their energy, unless they celebrate themselves – unless they recognize that they have accomplished certain things of value, and that there are reasons to stay together, stay effective as an organization,” says Feaver, boasting of the hundreds of inductees.
“History, tradition and legacy,” says Feaver. “That is what we are trying to preserve.”
Arcadia’s Round Barn was built in 1898 and was primarily used to house livestock until it was turned into a tourist destination.

Some people leave a mark on the world through scientific discovery or philanthropic efforts. Others have a more unique approach; they make a name for themselves by building roadside spectacles that have caught the attention of countless travelers over the years. Pay a visit to one of these oddities for a one-of-a-kind experience on your next road trip around Oklahoma.
Spider VW Bug (Lexington)
Towering 15 feet high with red fangs, the Spider Volkswagen (VW) Bug alongside U.S. Highway 77 was one of 2,500 Volkswagens in Robert Leroy Wilson’s collection. He began collecting Volkswagens in his forties, and eventually opened Wilson’s Volkswagen, a salvage and repair business, in Lexington in 1978.
The auto-shop owner also had a passion for racing. Wilson participated over a dozen times in the Great Race – a precision race in which competitors would drive Pre-World War II automobiles for distances up to 3,000 miles. Believing that Lexington could be the next Indianapolis, Wilson built the Lexington 77 Speedway in 1984. He constructed the Spider VW Bug as an advertisement for his track and shop.
The speedway eventually closed in 1996. And when Wilson passed, his Volkswagen collection went to auction … sans the Spider VW Bug. In 2019, Lexington local Tim Short started a Facebook page called “Save the Spider’’ to rally efforts to restore the bug. The page has garnered nearly 2,000 followers.
The Round Barn (Arcadia)
A healthy fear of tornadoes was William Odor’s possible reasoning for constructing the Round Barn in Arcadia. Built in 1898, the barn – and others of the same shape – were commonly believed to be able to withstand cyclones. Others speculate that he adopted the circular shape because it could hold more mules compared to square barns.
Odor constructed the two-story barn by soaking 2×4 planks in the river until they were malleable. Once finished, he used the barn for keeping his livestock and hay. Odor also installed a hardwood floor, so his farm workers could use it as a dance venue on the weekends.
The barn fell into a state of dilapidation after sitting vacant for many decades. When its roof collapsed in 1988, several preservationists banded together to restore the structure. The Arcadia Historical and Preservation Society now operates the Round Barn, which houses a museum and gift shop. Many locals claim that the Round Barn is the most photographed Oklahoma attraction of all time.
The Blue Whale (Catoosa)
Appearing on televisions and in newspaper cartoons, the Blue Whale in Catoosa is heralded as one of the most iconic stops along Route 66. (Even Sir Paul McCartney is rumored to have visited.)
The 80-foot-long aquatic structure sits on a small pond and features a diving board and slide. Hugh Davis, former director at the Tulsa Zoo, spent two years building the whale as an anniversary gift for his wife, Zelta. She was especially fond of whales, and the couple had a history of caring for animals together. In their retirement, they opened Nature’s Acres, an amusement park where they raised alligators and snakes.
Hugh finished construction in 1972 and opened the attraction to the public alongside his park. During its heyday, the Blue Whale became a popular public swimming hole that attracted hundreds of daily visitors. Although the whale is recognized for its vibrant hue, the couple once debated painting the whale black like an Orca. They settled on blue instead because it would seem friendly to those passing by.

Oklahoman Hannah Barnthouse is set to open her first brick and mortar jewelry and accessories store this June.
Photo by Allyson Bias Photography
During the height of the pandemic, Edmond native Hannah Barnthouse used vintage jewelry to make hair clips and headbands at her kitchen table. She says the accessories looked like candies in her hair.
When she initially wore her creations, friends and strangers alike approached Barnthouse with interest. This was the impetus of her new career – she subsequently launched Hair Candy By Han (HCBH).
“I quickly found community,” she says. “And gems created a family and a safe place for me and my customers during a very tumultuous and unsettling time. This was an escape for all of us.”
As she mined her inner sparkle and produced more jewelry, there was an uptick in demand. So she moved from her kitchen into an Edmond fulfillment warehouse, using both Instagram and her website to sell glimmering creations.
The public took notice, and fast. In fact, while scrolling through her Instagram account, Barnthouse was surprised to find a message from celebrity Paris Hilton. Barnthouse and Hilton communicated back and forth, and Hilton eventually placed an order. The socialite even posted several photos of herself with Barnthouse’s jewelry on her feed.
Barnthouse isn’t slowing down with her bling. In fact, she says, “we would love to see our gems on Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian.”
Every HCBH creation is eye-catching and versatile, meant to be worn dressed up or dressed down, layered, or as standalone pieces. HCBH uses a plethora of colorful glass Swarovski gems, imported from Wattens, Austria.
Of all the brand’s products, the best selling piece is the trademarked Rainbow Earring design – specifically the classic pearl rainbows. The earring styles come in numerous sizes including mini, midi, specialty, regular, baby jumbo short, baby jumbo long, jumbo short, and jumbo long.
The Statement Bracelet is designed to make a fashion splash in the most versatile yet elevated way possible – and it seamlessly matches the OG Rainbow Necklace.
The line is ever-growing and even includes gem-enhanced clothing, sunglasses and ear cuffs. The hair accessories are known as hair candy or “Skittles.” And for game day customized earrings, customers can choose their team colors. HCBH works to make sporting seasons chic.
“The details and the art are conversation starters,” says Barnthouse. “And it genuinely makes me happy.”
With a brick and mortar store set to open in June, Barnthouse has a lot to look forward to.
“My storefront will be an extension of the brand and should feel like a hug, and look like you’ve walked into a jewelry box,” she says. “You can expect life-size gems, sparkles like never before seen, and the aesthetic of your wildest dreams. My hope is it’s the catalyst to many stores to come!”

Sparkly Origins
Barnthouse collected vintage jewelry for years with her mom, who is an antique dealer. The mother-daughter treasure hunts were a big part of Barnthouse’s childhood – and have continued into her adult years.
“I remember my mom always encouraged me to dress how I wanted, and it quickly became a form of self expression for me as a child, adult, and now in my career path,” says Barnthouse. “My inspiration comes from the beauty around me, primarily from vintage fashion, but also historic eras, flower arrangements and even art. It’s always my goal to help people sparkle on the outside, but more importantly on the inside as well.”
We’re five months into 2023, and cinematic offerings don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. This selection may involve some superheroes, action and comedy, so maybe you’ll find something worth heading to the theatre for.
Starting us off is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Closing the trilogy of films, all written and directed by James Gunn, the movie wraps up the story of Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and his ragtag group of misfits as they deal with a new enemy and the mysterious past of Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper). Although Gunn was fired from production early on, he was later rehired and filming appears to have run as smoothly as possible. One of Marvel’s most cohesive set of films, largely due to a singular voice being in charge, the third volume will hopefully bring the trilogy to a satisfying end when it hits theaters on May 5.
For an action thriller, look no further than The Mother. The story follows an ex-assassin, Jennifer Lopez, who comes out of hiding to protect her daughter – whom she cut contact with much earlier in her life. The trailer gives the impression that Lopez is a no nonsense killer ready to take down any person who gets in her way. It will be released to Netflix on May 12, but if you need a holdover film featuring Jennifer Lopez as a U.S. Marshall chasing down a thief played by George Clooney, make sure to watch the 1998 film Out of Sight!
If exploding cars and nonsensical plots are your thing, then you already know about Fast X. The tenth film in the Fast and Furious franchise of ever-changing names, the plot involves Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew dealing with Cipher (Charlize Theron) and newly added bad boy of the week, Dante (Jason Momoa). My guess is that it will be a convoluted, laughably fun/comically stupid reworking of past films to invent new reasons for “plot” to happen. The trailer is bonkers and full of fight scenes, explosions and breaking of the laws of physics. It’ll be all about family when it crashes into theaters on May 19.
If you need some comedy after all that action, check out About My Father. Written by and starring Sebastian Maniscalco, the semi-autobiographical story centers around Maniscalco, playing a loose version of himself, and his imminent proposal to his girlfriend. Issues arise when his father, played by Robert De Niro, wants to tag along for the weekend retreat … and his traditional Italian values clash with everything else. The film looks sweet and charming, with some of Maniscalco’s signature bits from his standup career mixed in. It releases on May 26.
Lastly, don’t sleep on Confess, Fletch. Released last year and starring Jon Hamm, the soft reboot of the franchise that originally had Chevy Chase in the titular role is an excellent crime comedy with good laughs, a great cast and an engaging mystery to solve. It’s now streaming on Showtime.
Get ready for a bevy of outdoor sporting events this month.
In Tulsa, the Drillers play America’s favorite pastime at home – the ONEOK Stadium – on May 2-7, 9-14 and 23-28. Stick around ONEOK for a Tulsa FC soccer match on May 19.

Dalesandro’s bustling bistro is somewhat of a hidden gem on Tulsa’s Boston Avenue. Tucked in nicely next to Burn Co. Barbeque, FarmBar and Tacos X Mezcal, this Italian mainstay is in good company.
Dalesandro’s small menu means one thing: the chefs here know exactly what they’re doing, what tastes good and what their diners want. Begin with an antipasti – the carpaccio, caprese and asparagus are all smart choices. Or get a Caesar salad for the table.
Classic entrées won’t disappoint, ranging from linguine with basil, garlic and tomatoes; to pollo arrosto, with half a grilled chicken, angel hair pasta and red sauce. Other must-tries include the stuffed shells, with a blend of three cheeses and homemade Italian sausage, as well as the carbonara, with cream sauce and two kinds of bacon, plus peas and Romano cheese.
The star of the show is the swordfish piccata. Enjoy an eight ounce, hand-cut filet of swordfish, breaded with herbs and fresh Parmesan cheese, sautéed in butter, baked and served over angel hair pasta with piccata sauce.
Those with a sweet tooth can finish off with the chocolate gateaux – made with Belgian Callebaut chocolate.
Dalesandro’s also offers an impressive wine collection, by the glass and the bottle, as well as a reserve collection, beers and a full bar. The spring/summer cocktail menu is in full effect. Try the lemon basil prosecco with vodka, fresh muddled basil and lemon juice; or the ‘Rozay Spritz,’ replete with rosé, vermouth, muscato simple syrup and soda water over ice. Pro tip: Dalesandro’s has one of the most relaxing and visually pleasing patios in Tulsa – utilize it!

Casinos have consistently offered ample opportunities for gaming and gambling fun, but these havens of entertainment are rapidly evolving.
“Today, our casinos are more than just bingo halls,” says Robert Tehee, director of marketing at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa.
With 454 rooms and suites, Hard Rock offers a bevy of amenities beyond traditional gaming – and many are realizing they can travel just a few hours to enjoy all types of fun at the casino.
Leadership at Choctaw Casinos and Resorts has also taken notice of the shift in goals of some of their guests.
“There’s an expectation for a resort experience,” says Wendy Carter, executive director of marketing for the Choctaw Nation Division of Commerce. “[They want] something for the family, and other things to do besides gaming. We call it ‘gaming plus.’”
Both Hard Rock and Choctaw present a wide range of options beyond the gaming floor. At Hard Rock, guests can find restaurants – both casual and fine dining – a sports bar, and a country music and dance hall. Many guests even come for community events and weddings hosted at the facility.
“These amenities allow them to come in and experience something that maybe they’re wanting to do initially, and then we can get them out on the gaming floor in hopes that they love the games, win some money and start their gaming adventure from there,” says Tehee.
Choctaw Casinos and Resorts boasts a spa, pools and a hefty line-up of concerts. They have also branched out with offerings for the whole family, including restaurants, a bowling alley, cinema, arcade, family-friendly pool and numerous food court-style dining options.
Gaming and gambling continue to be the most popular draws – but even gaming itself has seen changes in recent years. In part due to more adults today having grown up with video games, the popularity of “skill-based” games has seen a rise in recent years, says Carter. These take away the random nature one might expect and instead involve some critical thinking.
“We do see that the consumer does enjoy that kind of game that puts a little bit of the outcome in their own hands,” she says.
But Carter goes on to add that the traditional, three-reel slot machines remain the favorites, despite the waxing and waning popularity of other types.
Whether visitors are there strictly for gaming or to enjoy some of the many amenities, tribal casinos continue to change with the times and offer their guests all the attractions and activities they could imagine.
“It’s an exciting time; there’s a lot on the horizon for tribal gaming in Oklahoma,” says Carter.
A Look Ahead
Changing legislation drives many of the shifts with tribal gaming. As new laws and regulations come to pass, the casinos work to stay up to date for their guests.
Potential future opportunities, such as sports betting and changes in digital offerings, are at the forefront of their plans.
“We’re always preparing in the background for whatever comes new in legislation,” says Carter.
If you want to learn about a culture or its people, a great way to do so is by exploring its cuisine. In the heart of the Chickasaw Nation, Aaimpa’ Cafè offers an authentic taste of Native American cooking.
The Chickasaw Cultural Center located in Sulphur is dedicated to preserving, promoting and celebrating Chickasaw culture. Its on-site restaurant, Aaimpa’ Cafè (aaimpa’ meaning ‘a place to eat’), has been an integral part of that mission. Not only does it provide sustenance to visitors, but also serves as a gateway to learn more about the Chickasaw tribe.
In February 2023, the restaurant, led by executive chef Josh Faulkner, re-opened its doors after an extensive renovation, replete with a new menu. Traditional dishes still have a special place – with options like grape dumplings, the buffalo burger, and pashofa (a soupy dish made from cracked white corn), served with fry bread. The Three Sisters Salad returns as well, combining corn, beans and squash in an arrangement inspired by the traditional planting method.
However, the new additions to the restaurant’s fare bring a fresh twist to traditional Chickasaw flavors. Enjoy venison stew, made with a hearty blend of sweet potatoes, tomatoes and spices. Or bite into a delicious charbroiled elk burger, served on a brioche bun from the newly expanded grill offerings. The menu is diverse – offering options for vegetarians, meat lovers and everyone in between.
Aaimpa’ Cafè is open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cookies and beverages are served until 4 p.m.
