Elementary students in Kingfisher this week will experience a performance from the BancFirst Tour of the Oklahoma Children’s Theatre.

Each year BancFirst joins Oklahoma Children’s Theatre to sponsor performances in communities around the state.

Oklahoma Children’s Theatre scales down one of its stage performances, including sets, costuming, and cast, to take on the road to share a high quality, live theatre experience with elementary school students in select BancFirst communities.

Oklahoma Children’s Theatre will present Sleeping Beauty to Gilmour Elementary students Tuesday, May 14.

This play, a twist of the beloved fairy tale, turns back the hands of time to show what really happened to Sleeping Beauty. Two good fairies and a magical frog make sure everyone lives happily ever after.

Sleeping Beauty was chosen for the touring production because it is educational and entertaining, exposing children to the arts. Cast members interact with the audience during the performance to engage students and further personalize the experience.

“We’re thrilled Oklahoma Children’s Theatre will make a stop in Kingfisher this year,” said Brent Henderson, president of Banc-First Kingfisher. “Their plays are always entertaining and give the children and staff a break from their regular school work to enjoy live theater.”

The BancFirst tour will also make appearances in seven other Oklahoma communities this spring with a total of 15 performances. BancFirst has sponsored the program for over 20 years.
