A Peter Rabbit Tale
2022-04-09 14:00 - 14:45, 2022-04-10 14:00 - 14:45 (America/Chicago) | ArtWorks Academy’s Loft Theatre, 3251 Market Place, Norman, OK, 73072, United States
Peter Rabbit doesn’t think life as a rabbit is all it’s cracked up to be in this spirited children’s musical. His mother is always making him do chores, and Peter’s had just about all he can take of his goody two-shoes twin sisters. After being picked on for the last time, Peter decides to run away from home and find a better place to live — somewhere he can be in charge, do whatever he wants, and be free of responsibility. But as Peter struggles to live with other animals, from feisty squirrels to sewing mice, he begins to realize his life at home might not have been so bad after all.
This production features children and adults.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
2022-04-29 19:00 - 21:00, 2022-05-01 14:00 - 16:00, 2022-05-01 18:00 - 20:00 | ArtWorks Academy’s Loft Theatre, 3251 Market Place, Norman, OK, 73072, United States
Based on Robert Fulghum’s best-selling books, Kindergarten takes a funny, insightful, heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. This tightly woven adaptation has earned standing ovations from Singapore to Prague— from L.A. to D.C. It’s an evening of theatrical storytelling in revue format, with monologues, dialogues, and multiple voice narration. The delightful stories feature colorful characters such as: a shy little boy who insists on playing the “pig” in his class production of Cinderella and steals the show; a man whose dream of flying carries him high over Los Angeles … in a lawn chair buoyed by surplus weather balloons; a “mother of the bride” who’s staged a perfect wedding—until the bowling ball of fate rolls down the aisle; and a modern-day Greek philosopher who finds the meaning of life in a piece of broken mirror from World War II. These stories celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age.
This production features students in 6th-12th grade.
