Plane Crazy gets "Stripped"

Oklahoma City sounds mighty pretty!

I just found out that Plane Crazy was accepted into the 2006 Stripped New Musicals Project at Oklahoma City University! As they said in their submission guidelines:

"We're looking for the new musicals for a new generation. Fresh, original, cutting edge, conservative, funny, inventive, unique."

Sounds like Plane Crazy to me!

PLANE CRAZY was one of four shows selected to be presented in concert style in April 2006 by the OCU musical theater students. Narration will be provided between songs to establish the scene.

The public presentation will occur on Sunday, April 23rd starting at 7 PM in Oklahoma City. Stay tuned for more information!

PLANE CRAZY will join three other "Stripped" winners:

"Flyer, The Musical", music and book by Dan Tramon & Diana Belkowski with additional book Donald Feltham

"The Gift", music by Andrew Gerle and lyrics by Maryrose Wood

"I Married Wyatt Earp", music by Michele Bourman, lyrics by Sheilah Rae, book by Sheilah Rae & Thomas Edward West.

We will be presenting four songs from "Plane Crazy" during our presentation on Saturday, April 29th on the Oklahoma City University campus. The presentation is free and open to the general public. Our productions are "stripped"...meaning no sets, costumes, props, orchestra or major choreography (movement sections are fine as long as they are not full dance numbers). All performers will be in black.

What an honor! I'm really touched...and I can't wait to go to Oklahoma City to see the production. I've never been to OC, and I can't wait!
