Boeing Boeing lands today at Lyric Theatre!  This crazy comedy is about a pilot who's juggling three fiances between flights.  Throw the typical travel delays into the mix and it looks like it will be a bumpy flight!

Catch this comedy tonight, Wednesday, March 30th through Saturday, April 16th at the Plaza Theatre.  Visit www.lyrictheatreokc.com for show times and tickets.

Speaking of tickets, you can get them 2-for-1 with your OKCityCard!  You must present your card in person in order to get the discount, so hop over to Lyric's office in the Plaza District to pick your tickets up today!

I love this video Lyric created for the show.  Will the pilot's love life take a nose dive?  Your guess is as good as mine and I can't wait to find out!

It’s a powerhouse weekend in the arts!  Robert Storr, curator and Dean of the Yale University School of Art is speaking tonight for City Arts Center and on Saturday and Sunday, Canterbury Choral Society, Oklahoma City Ballet and Oklahoma City Philharmonic will all take the stage together for the first time in history.  With events like these, you could call this post EPIC Thursday.

If you're an avid twitter user, you may have seen #Momentum11 flying around your feed. That's because Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition's high-energy art show Momentum: Art Doesn't Stand Still is happening this Friday and Saturday at the Farmer's Market!

Momentum highlights artists under the age of 30 who are making a name for themselves in the Oklahoma art scene.  Along with 2D and 3D pieces, young artists get to show their talent through performance art and live music.  You'll also get to see three commissioned works that are just for Momentum and participate in the interactive art piece.

Tickets are only $10 in advance and $15 at the door (what a steal!).  You can buy them at Blue 7, Full Circle Bookstore, The Velvet Monkey and Guestroom Records.  Plus, you can get them 2-for-1 with your OKCityCard! 

To see a full line-up of artists and bands, preview the pieces or purchase tickets online, click here. 

Take a look at last year's event and see why this show is unlike any other!

 

I personally can't wait for this show. Tweet @ovac and tell them how excited you are for #Momentum11!

Calling all kid artists!  Have you been to the Festival of the Arts in Downtown OKC?  Did you think that it would be so cool to have your artwork for sale to the thousands of people who visit each year?  This year, your dream could come true!
