DAYTON — Carroll High School Freedom Players will perform Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma” 7 p.m. Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 24.

Produced by special arrangement with R&H Theatricals, “Oklahoma” is the first musical written by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein. Set in farm country outside the town of Claremore, Oklahoma Territory in 1906, it is the story of farm girl Laurey Williams and her courtship by two rival suitors, cowboy Curly McLain and the sinister farmhand Jud Fry. A secondary romance concerns cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancee, Ado Annie. The original broadway production opened on March 31, 1943.

The large cast will fire up the stage with more than a dozen familiar songs, including “Oh What a Beautiful Morning”, “People Will Say We’re in Love”, “The Farmer and the Cowman” and “Oklahoma.”
