The Broadway Under the Stars’ production of the beloved musical theater classic “Oklahoma!” runs Friday, June 15 through Sunday, July 1 at the Heritage Theater on the campus of Heritage High School, 101 American Way in Brentwood.

Directed by Steve Kinsella of the Kinsella Theater Group, and produced by Jack Gaughan of the Brentwood Theater Company, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains their most innovative. “Oklahoma!” set the standards and established the rules of musical theater still being followed today.

Set in the early 20th-century West, the high-spirited musical depicts the rivalry between local farmers and cowboys. The love story of Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they’ll succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will take root in a brand-new state provides the climax to the “Oklahoma!”

The curtain goes up for Friday and Saturday evening performances at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All seats are reserved. Tickets are $24 for adults (19-64); $22 for seniors (65 and over); $15 for teens (13-18); and $7 for children (6-12).

For tickets, log on to www.thebrentwoodtheater.org or drop by The Gallery On Second, 741 Second St.in downtown Brentwood.
