Enjoy a truly unique evening of audience participation fun in “The Drunkard,” an “old time melodrama!” Boo and hiss the villain, cheer on the hero, sing along to some grand old songs, and enjoy some of the Tulsa area’s finest talent in the “Olio” preceding the play.
This has been a weekly “Tulsa event” and one of the “Tulsa performing arts” venue since 1953! Every Saturday evening at Tulsa Spotlight Theater begins with the doors opening at 7:00 p.m., and the show starts at 7:15 with a singalong and the Olio: dancers, musicians, singers, jugglers, magicians, or comedians. The main event is “an old-fashioned mellerdramer” called “The Drunkard.” During intermissions we serve concessions, beer, coffee, soft drinks and (no kidding) tomatoes to toss at the villain. The “Riverside Studio is a Tulsa icon built in 1928, and home of America’s longest-running play. The play is directed by Mark Roberts and Chuck Osuna. This is “Tulsa family entertainment” at its best!
