We want to equip each student/ parent with the tools and information so that each student can do their best in their OKLAHOMA role, but more importantly that this production is a wonderful experience for them and you. Please read this information carefully (and periodically check back for updates) as it has lots of important information for you. You should go through the menu above and read all the info on those pages and below. We hope that this website explains everything sufficiently and answers any questions you may have. But of course, we want this to be as easy and as enjoyable for you as possible, so if there is anything you’re unclear about or need addressed, do not hesitate to contact us at lifelighttheatre@gmail.com
We thank you in advance for all of your hard work going into the show. Many items are time sensitive and may require action by you or your child and need to be submitted online.
