\"Oklahoma\" On November 16, 17, 19, 20, the Drama and Music department combined to create the Jor- dan High producation of \"Oklahoma.\" Both areas contributed to the musical. Robyn Bishop acted as the Executive director with Robyn Stuver as drama director. Carolyn Wootten ably handled all of the choreography. The two areas that involved music, the singing and the orchestra were headed by Rod Zabriskie and Julie Christopherson, respectively. The advisorswere fantasti c, but the meat of the performances came from the cast. With all of this going for it, \"Oklahoma\" was surely one of the best productions Jordan High School has ever per- formed.Characters :Aunt Eller . ......... . ....... . . .. ... . . . .. . ..... . ....
