PALOA News & Happenings



Don’t miss the theatrical event of Summer 2010 when PALOA Musical Theater presents "Oklahoma!" After 21 years, we are returning to this amazing classic. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!

PALOA Offers Fencing Classes

As many of you know, PALOA has started offering fencing classes at the PALOA center.  The first two beginner classes are almost finished and were very successful.  We are very fortunate to have Chris Barnes, as our Fencing Master.  Chris has competed nationally for over 15 years and is an excellent teacher.  The next set of classes will start soon.  This time PALOA will be offering an intermediate fencing class as well as another beginner class.  (Intermediate at 6:00 p.m. and Beginner at 7:30).  If we have enough students additional classes will be added.

In addition, in anticipation of next summer’s production of Peter Pan, PALOA will be offering a class in stage sword fighting.  The class will be taught by Ron Graham.  Ron worked for years as a professional stunt man and has extensive training and experience in staging and choreographing stage sword fights.  Ron will also be directing the sword fight scenes for Peter Pan.  The sword fight scenes in Peter Pan will be using real swords and the choreography will be very intense.  So, anyone interested in auditioning for a part as a pirate or a lost boy is strongly encouraged to take this class.  The classes will start on November 12, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. (These times may be adjusted if we have enough students for two classes.)

These classes are open to anyone regardless of experience.  The classes are taught once a week for ten weeks and cost $125, which includes all the equipment.  If you would like to sign up, or if you have any questions, please contact Bob Lumens at nwpa@olypen.com

Thank you,
