postponed due to the pandemic. Our friends at Theatre North will present August Wilson’s “Jitney,” an absolute jewel from the August Wilson catalogue. World Stage Theatre is set to wow crowds with the Tonynominated play “The Song of Jacob Zulu,” which includes incredible music composed by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. We close out the month of February and start March off with a bang thanks to a great concert presented by the TPAC Trust. On March 1, we welcome the Australian group The Ten Tenors to Chapman Music Hall. Over the past several years, I have loved working with these guys and presenting them in several different venues. You won’t be able to leave without a smile on your face and a song in your heart. As we continue to navigate through the latest variants of COVID-19, the staff at the TPAC will continue to do our best to keep audiences as safe as possible. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep performing arts alive for the Tulsa metro area.
