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.
