Abrams Spotlight Productions Inc. will perform the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Oklahoma!” for two weekends in March.

Directed by Ali Carlson, “Oklahoma!” will be presented March 14-17 and March 21-24 at the Nancy Byng Community Theater, 5852 Maple St., Abrams.

“The audience will enjoy the recognizable songs, but more importantly, they will enjoy the dancing. The choreography is truly the gem of this production,” Carlson said.

The musical “Oklahoma!” opened on Broadway for the first time in 1943, and the ASPI show incorporates some of the original choreography.

“It is with great sadness that we made this decision, but we know it’s the right decision in order to protect the health of our cast and crew, our volunteers and our audience,” said ASPI President Bill Koehne. “We look forward to reopening the theater to the community in 2021 to provide live performances once again.”
