Episode Description

Tulsa World Scene's Grace Wood, Jimmie Tramel and James Watts usually preview upcoming Scene features in this podcast. However, Watts opens this week's episode noting that the Tulsa run of the Tony Award-winning revival of “Oklahoma!”, which was scheduled to be at the Tulsa PAC June 17-19, has been postponed.

Officials with Celebrity Attractions and the Tulsa PAC made the announcement Wednesday, saying the decision came in light of the recent mass shooting at the Natalie Medical Building on the Saint Francis Health System campus.
