We all have that one song — or numerous songs — that communicates exactly what we feel, our personality, or our childhood.

Some we would recognize just from the humming of its melody. Some we would never be able to guess because they are specific to you, your family, your location. One thing is for certain though: “Music is the universal language of mankind.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow How can arts organizations use music to break down barriers and build up communities? There are many ways an arts organization can use its power and privilege to create programming that is for all people; to create programs that are initiated for, by, and of the people of the communities that surround it. While we continue to look for ways to innovate in this arena, we have found a way that is sure to be successful: The TPAC Youth Choir!

The TPAC Youth Choir is a major initiative of The Tulsa Performing Arts Center that seeks to find, train, and celebrate the talents of our local youth, ages 11 through 18, through choral music, group rehearsal, and group performance. Our vision is a world where children take the lead in creating a kind, generous, and brave community for all through genuine, intentional, and heart-felt communication. The youth around us are the leaders of tomorrow and the TPAC Youth Choir invites the world to start listening to their voices today.

We express our vision of a unified city by being our best selves when we are together and embodying the TPAC Youth Choir core values: Unity through Joy Deep Listening Personal Responsibility and Bravery Generosity and Support Respect for Others and Self Kindness Rehearsals start in September and many event dates will follow!

Let’s #singtogether!

ANASTASIA

The romantic and adventure-filled new musical Anastasia is on a journey to the Tulsa PAC! Presented by Celebrity Attractions, this dazzling musical transports you from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Inspired by the beloved films, the story of Anastasia has captured people’s imaginations for centuries. Here are some facts about the legend of Anastasia and what inspired the musical.

a lot of speculation, leaving many questioning whether she or anyone in the royal family was still alive.

1.

5.

Anastasia was on Broadway for two years. The musical is based on a 1997 animated movie by 20th Century Fox. While many of the songs from the movie were kept in the Broadway production, 16 new songs were also added.

2.

Anastasia Romanova is an actual historical figure known as Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra. She and her family were assassinated in 1918 due to the political war tensions at the time.

The mystery surrounding the death of Russian Empress Anastasia has been a hot topic for many years. Some rumors and false reports of her passing caused 10

4.

After the Russian Revolution, there were many cases of imposters claiming to be the royal family, but the most famous claimant was Anna Anderson. Her case is memorable because her story was compelling, and she looked so much like Anastasia. Her case lasted over 30 years, but DNA evidence eventually disproved her claim.

The Anna Anderson case and the legend of Anastasia inspired a 1954 French play by Marcelle Maurette.

That play got adapted to the 1956 American movie starring Ingrid Bergman, which inspired the 1997 animated movie by 20th Century Fox, all known by the same title: Anastasia.

PrettyWOMAN Matthew Murphy for MurphyMade

The cast of Pretty Woman: The Musical

Want the fairytale? It’s coming to Tulsa! Decades after its release, “Pretty Woman” is still seen as one of the greatest love stories of all time. Now, Green Country audiences can see it in a completely new way when the musical version graces the Chapman stage.

One cast member, Michael Dalke, gets to help bring the show to his home state. Raised in Norman, Dalke attended Oklahoma City University for musical theatre, but the pull of the stage couldn’t wait for graduation and Dalke rushed to New York City to begin his career. After years of working in both NYC and Los Angeles, he’s returning to Oklahoma to help bring “Pretty Woman” to life.

Incredibly, though Dalke has been working in the industry for many years, this is his first national tour. At 12

J uly / A u g u st 2022 I N TE RMISSION

the age of 38, he is living his dreams to the fullest. He points out: “There’s a song in the musical called ‘Never Give Up On a Dream,’ and as cheesy as that might sound, I really, truly believe it.

I’ve tried to do so many other things, ... I tried other creative outlets, but I just could not let go. I closed my eyes to picture what it was I was put on this earth to do, and it was being on stage.”

What better way to watch a story about capturing dreams than to watch a man live his own dreams? And this show is chock-full of the magic of the original movie, plus a healthy dose of ‘90s nostalgia. The songs were written by “I Do It for You” and “Summer of ‘69” crooner Byran Adams.

“There is such a love for that movie,” Dalke says. He loves hearing about how it was so-and-so’s mom’s favorite movie from excited audience

members who come to say hello after the show. He adds: “People are ready to just laugh and have fun and fall in love with the characters as they fall in love.

It’s just a lot of fun.”

Dalke was a huge fan of the movie before taking on the role and has spent many an hour watching it with his best friend. Whether a decadeslong fan of the original or thinking of experiencing this story for the first time, this is not a show to be missed.

Not being there would be a big mistake. Big! Huge!

THEATRE TULS As you may or may not have noticed, the staff members here at the TPAC are firm believers in the power of the arts, particularly when it comes to changing the lives of children. Numerous studies have been done, showing the importance of the performing arts in a young child’s life. From teaching children to work as a team to giving them a feeling of purpose and belonging, the results are clear each time: the arts matter and improve lives.

And though arts programs are being defunded and cut throughout the country, local groups have taken up the mantle of ensuring our youth still have access to the arts. One of the best in that category is Theatre Tulsa’s academy programs. Each year, this incredible local nonprofit — now in its 100th year of existence — offers multiple programs for children of all ages to learn and participate in live musical theatre.

Theatre Tulsa Academy consists of three separate age categories: Broadway 14

J uly / A u g u st 2022 I N TE RMISSION

Beginners, ages 5 through 8; Broadway Bootcamp, ages 8 through 14; and Broadway Bound, ages 14 through 18. Each age group gets to work with amazing local talent to put on a staged show. And they go all out; these shows have all the costuming, makeup, mics, set design and lighting any of the adult mainstage shows would get, giving kids a chance to star in their very own production.

Around seven years ago, Theatre Tulsa started the program with around 12 kids and one employee, performing “Children’s Letters to God.” This summer, over 100 kids will participate in two full-blown shows with an entire staff and production team behind them.

Because the program is in such high demand, with long wait lists for each age group, there are plans to make it even bigger than ever in the years to come.

Jarrod Kopp, Theatre Tulsa’s executive director, and Laura Skoch, Theatre Tulsa’s artistic director, share that they must be incredibly

thoughtful and careful about how they expand the program. The goal, always, is to ensure there are enough staff members to go around so that each child is getting the attention and spotlight they deserve. Though they want to accept every interested child, it is important for the program to grow the correct way to ensure everyone gets to truly participate.

The crew behind the shows are often industry professionals who have worked elsewhere but have come back home to Tulsa. Other times, they are incredible local talent who have a career in front of them and are able to use the program to gain additional experience few get before entering the professional world. More and more kids are also requesting backstage experience and are getting the chance to assist the directors, stage managers and other important roles.

Of course, Theatre Tulsa’s program is not the only local entity providing incredible performance art education.

SA ACADEMY There are additional places around town where children can learn the fundamentals of musical theatre — tap, singing technique, acting, etc. — but few programs can boast a fully staged production. According to Skoch, this alone has been incredibly important even for her own children, who are in the program. It makes children more adaptable and selfsufficient when they are put on the spot and expected to actively make decisions to ensure that the show goes on.

One child, in particular, that Skoch thinks of often had his mother incredibly worried. He was disengaged and uninterested. “He was in a bad space,” Skoch says, and then he took part in his first show, “Chicago: School Edition.” Afterward, his mother told Skoch, “He’s a new kid.” The camaraderie, the mentorship, and the support found in these programs, Skoch says, is more important now than ever after a long quarantine period. It can change a child’s life.

While the programs are not free, Theatre Tulsa provides between $10,000 and $15,000 in need-based scholarships each year. Sometimes full scholarships are given, and sometimes half scholarships are awarded. There are also other options like multiplechild discounts, and Kopp says he is constantly looking for additional grants and donors to award even more scholarships in the future. The goal, says Kopp, is to ensure all children can take part.

This summer, Theatre Tulsa will be putting on “Shrek Jr.” and “Into the Woods Jr.” While the waiting lists for those two shows are already lengthy, enrollment for the fall performance of “Spamalot: School Edition” and spring production of “101 Dalmatians: School Edition” is either enrolling now or will open soon. For more information on this fantastic program, visit theatretulsa.org. And don’t miss all the talent the kids are bringing to the stage this summer, fall and next spring!
