Theater season in Tulsa is in full swing, y’all, and tonight Encore Playhouse Tulsa debuts its 2010-2011 season with a production of The Jungle Book, a beloved book brought to life by a cast of 30 local kids. With a classic story and the guarantee of a quality production that comes with the name Playhouse here in T-Town, tonight’s an opening night that’s sure to please adults and kids alike. In case you haven’t heard of it, Encore Playhouse is a cool thing, and here’s why: The aim of this group is to provide children with chances to learn and grow in the art of theatre through camps, workshops, group classes, private lessons and high-quality productions like the one you can see in the Liddy Doenges Theatre in downtown Tulsa tonight. It’s all in an effort to foster in our kids more insight and compassion, stronger self-awareness and greater confidence.
