(I’m) extremely happy with all of the effort we put into it to make it great!
— Sam Davis (12)
The show is directed by Yorba Linda High School Theatre director, Cathy Petz, and musically directed by Nick Bravo. Everyone who got the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful musical works hard every single day to make it the best show possible. Being a part of theatre is more than getting to perform. Being in theatre is about developing strong relationships with your cast mates and working hard together as a family to bring a production to life. “I am very sad that this is my last show at YLHS, but extremely happy with all of the effort we put into it to make it great!” (Sam Davis). Sam is a senior, so this will be the last time she gets to be a part of a musical at Yorba Linda High School. “I will certainly miss performing with all of my friends when I leave” (Sam Davis).
Oklahoma is the perfect musical to bring all of your family and friends to because it is family-friendly and has something for everyone. Oklahoma is the show for you, whether you are into thrilling romance stories, western attire, exciting stage combat, or classically beautiful songs.
