"I am 60 years old and have lived in the area all my life and now I wonder why I didn't come sooner! Took my family and had a great time. I will be back and will bring friends."

* * *

"I can't think of anything that I would change. The food was good and the service was great."

* * *

"I thought it was terrific and I can't wait to take my two sons to see it too. I have one son that is interested in acting. Do you have anything available for kids in this situation?"

* * *

"It may be fun to volunteer and I'll definitely tell others about the Theater. What are the plans for renovation?"

* * *

"We will definitely be back! Do you all have an email list?

* * *

"You guys run a fantastic production that is enjoyable and special every time."

* * *

"My husband and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously, the play was exceptional, definitely a Tulsa gem!"

* * *

"We absolutely loved the evening at the Spotlight Theater. We will definitely tell our friends about it and will be back soon to enjoy another show."

* * *

"I had not heard of the show, but the sorority ladies had set it up and said we would enjoy the play. Boy, I got into the drama and had a great time with the actors and M C. Would come to town to see it again."

* * *

"The place was packed to full capacity, so the show was very lively and entertaining. I have already posted on FB how much fun we had and recommended that everyone must see the show. Thank you for a lovely evening!"

* * *

"Although I've lived in the Tulsa area for almost 60 years, and have heard about The Drunkard on many occasions, this past weekend we decided to "take the plunge" and attend the performance. WE LOVED IT! It's been a long time since I've been able to be totally uninhibited. I screamed, I shouted, I sang, I kissed my wife, (it was Valentine's day) and thoroughly made a fool of myself."

* * *

"I really enjoyed all the interaction between the audience and the performers. It made the atmosphere even more welcoming!"

* * *

"We thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was a family celebration and very fun."

* * *

"My friends and I had a good time. It truly felt like everyone was family and dedicated to the project."

* * *

"We really enjoyed it. It was a Valentines Surprise from my husband who found it while looking through a magazine. He talked to some people he knew that lived in the Tulsa area and they recommended it, so we came. It was a fun evening."

* * *

"My first visit to The Tulsa Spotlight Theater was very enjoyable! The Drunkard was terrific & the tomato toss was a great touch; just like the Tim Conway/Harvey Korman skits on the Carol Burnett Show, the unexpected, unscripted, laughter-filled moments were the most memorable."

* * *

"Our group of 15 had a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed the show."

* * *

"Everyone in your organization very professional and extremely nice!"

We couldn't have thrived for 60+ years without the more than 3,000 Tulsans who participated as cast or crew along the way!

It began on Nov. 14, 1953 and has never stopped! That's how The Drunkard became America's longest-running play. More than 3,000 Tulsans have participated on or offstage. More than a quarter-million have seen the show, making it a laughter-filled Tulsa tradition in which temperance triumphs and evildoers receive their merited fates. There are even tomatoes to throw at the villain!

The director is Tony-nominated writer-actor Joe Sears of Greater Tuna fame! "Today the play is performed in historical form as it was in the early days but with added salt and pepper fun for modern audiences to enjoy," Mr. Sears says.

Doors open at 7 p.m. A singalong of old-time popular songs begins at 7:15. The show starts at 7:30 with the Olio: dancers, musicians, jugglers, magicians, or comedians. The play begins at 8 p.m. and concludes around 10 p.m. with the audience and cast singing God Bless America.

The auditorium is set up like a beer garden. Audience members are seated at private tables, which is why reservations are so important. During intermissions our serving crew will bring your order of made-to-order sandwiches, chips, beer, wine, coffee, and soft drinks.
