22
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>of Broadway and Bartlesfield shows this year. We've got four

23
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>main stage shows and then we've got two add ons.

24
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 2>This year, we heard the cry from the public that yes,

25
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>they wanted some family programming that was, you know, very

26
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>strategic to families, and maybe a show that wasn't two

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 2>and a half to three hours long. So we've done

28
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>some add ons and I'm happy to tell you about

29
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>all of the shows.

30
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>So let's start off with what's what's coming from Broadway

31
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>right here to Bartlesville.

32
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>So we're starting off. Our first Broadway show is going

33
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to be on Thursday, November the twentieth, and it's Cirk

34
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Dreams Holidays, which is kind of a feast for the eyes.

35
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>It's the circus right on the main stage.

36
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

37
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>So they're going to be acrobatics and aerials and all

38
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>kinds of fun things. People jumping around, great costuming, holiday music.

39
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>It'd just be a great way to a sh you're

40
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>in the holiday season, right before Thanksgiving.

41
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Remember the lions or elephants we're talking about.

42
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about like the circus l a type thing.

43
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>To make sure that folks didn't get the wrong idea, there.

44
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Will be no elephants, I don't think not this time.

45
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>But it's really cool, Tom. I got to tell you

46
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>we are doing what they call a tech, the tech

47
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 2>for the show. So what happens is the we're the

48
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>start of the national tour for Service Dreams Holidays. So

49
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>they'll all roll into town. They'll come into Bartlesville, stay

50
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 2>in our hotels, eat in our restaurants, shop at the

51
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>local stores, and then they'll be putting up the show,

52
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>as they say, right on our stage. So they'll be

53
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>learning all their moves, focusing lights, working on the sound, choreography,

54
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>all that good stuff. Yeah, but they'll they'll bring all

55
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>their creative team and they'll all just be here working

56
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>on our stage and kind of living in Bartlesville for

57
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks and then they put up a

58
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>show on the twentieth of November and then off they go.

59
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

60
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we're really excited about that one.

61
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, we have coming up next.

62
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>So after that we jumped to the new year. We

63
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>have the Choir of Man, which that's in January, and

64
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>you all have seen that before, so it was it

65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>came through town a few years ago and it's such

66
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>a great show. It's ninety minutes straight through just foot tapping.

67
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Think about like, I don't know, the ten tenors meets

68
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of a dueling piano type thing where they use

69
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of a stomp thing too, where they use everything

70
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>on the stage that's set up like a bar as

71
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>an instrument, and there's a lot of harmonies and a

72
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of a cappella and really fun.

73
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's going to be on my bucket.

74
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, and they're Irish, so it's.

75
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Like that makes a difference in my family.

76
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're doing a little bit of you know, oh,

77
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Danny Boy might be included in there. Don't quote me

78
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>on that, but it's happened before, so yeah, I think

79
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>it'll be a good one.

80
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's see Irish guys in the bar Danny Boy. Yeah,

81
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it can happen.

82
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>It's super fun. It's just a lot of fun. And

83
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 2>they'll be singing songs off Broadway just you know, just

84
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 2>great songs that people are going to recognize and want

85
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to sing along. So it's exciting.

86
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Don't mind the prey behind us, Yes, really, it happens here.

87
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>All the bills and whistles happening.

88
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I see. You have one of my favorite productions of

89
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>all time coming up in March, The music Man.

90
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>The Music Man, Yes, that's going to be on March

91
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty third, and just your classic you know, Mary and

92
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>the Library and You Got a Lover. It's going to

93
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>be one of well, definitely our classic show. So and

94
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>then we finish out the season kind of early again

95
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>this season because the end of March we're bringing in

96
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the Tina Turner Musical and that one is incredible. So

97
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it's the Life Life of Tina Turner tribute show.

98
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's going to be a little bit of everything. Yeah,

99
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 1>from the days to days where she's collecting Grammys like

100
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>people collect, you know as Nate screen stamps, one of those. Wow,

101
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 1>she had a career.

102
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but there's more, there's more, Tom, Yes, I mentioned

103
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>those add on shows. Yes, So what we're doing is

104
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>we're flanking the season with an add on show, all right,

105
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>And so on September the thirtieth, we've got blank Space,

106
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the unofficial Taylor Swift Tribute Show coming through and the

107
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>gal that plays Taylor Swift, if you bumped into her

108
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>in the grocery store, you might just think you met

109
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Swift. That it's it's uncanny there. The resemblance is uncanny,

110
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and so we're in for a great treat. She's out

111
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>of Los Angeles, travels with the full band and backup singers,

112
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's just a really fun show with all all

113
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the era you know, the different songs of Taylor Swift eras.

114
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a great way for families to

115
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>get a Taylor Swift tribute experience, you know, without paying

116
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>that high dollar for the.

117
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Ticket or traveling around the world to catch her. Right,

118
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>this is coming up on Tuesday, September thirtieth, and I'd

119
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>be anticipating to sellout crowd.

120
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>I think we're going to get close. We we have

121
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>priced those tickets to sell to families, so we have

122
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 2>family bundles available, you know, for under ninety dollars for

123
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 2>four seats, just so we want you can get the

124
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>people in the door to experience what Broadway is all

125
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>about and kind of get them hooked.

126
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's a good way to do it. Yeah, I

127
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>see we got something. Dinosaur World what's this? Dinosaur World Live.

128
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Dinosaur World Live is a wonderful theatrical experience for children

129
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and families. It is life size puppets that look you know,

130
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>very very real. So and it's also shorter program so

131
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>for those littles that can't sit still for three hours,

132
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>or for the adults that can't sit still for three hours. Yeah,

133
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's a very fun show just it's interactive,

134
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 2>so there's there'll be a lot to keep their attention

135
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>during the show.

136
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>That is really going to be cool. I I have

137
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>yet to meet a youngster that didn't think dinosaurs are cool.

138
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Of that, I love them, and that one is also

139
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 2>we also have family packs available for that good so

140
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>it's just a lot of great programming family style we have.

141
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>We actually have a season ticket that includes the four

142
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>main stage shows, so Cirque, Choir of Man, Music Man,

143
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and Tina, and then we have a family kind of

144
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 2>package that we've put together that includes Blank Space, Cirque,

145
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the Music Man, and then Dinosaur World, so it leaves

146
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>out Choir of Man and Tina, which are geared a

147
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>little bit more toward the adult. The adults.

148
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, god, you did your whole work, and my goodness,

149
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>this looks like a winning lot. Wow.

150
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Our team's been working hard. We start working on Broadway

151
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>at least at least a year before we even announced

152
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>the series. So right now we're working on next season already,

153
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>which I can't tell you about, so don't even ask.

154
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I won't. I'm trying to digest this. This is really good.

155
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm really looking forward to this season. It's going to

156
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>be wonderful, Like you said, just a little bit of

157
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>something for everyone, and a lot more heavier on family side.

158
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>You have so many families that want to show their

159
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 1>kids the experience of the Broadway entertainment and things like that.

160
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>This is a great way to get a taste right

161
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>here at your very own center in your hometown.

162
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Right You can be home in ten minutes after the show.

163
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 1>You know something about this is one thing that kind

164
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of sold our family. When we came to Bartlesville six

165
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>years ago. I didn't know exactly where I was going.

166
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 1>I was on Adams Street trying to find Frank Phillips

167
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>so I could come here and you know, talk to

168
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.919
<v Speaker 1>people and see about things. And I stopped at the

169
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>on queue. I said, what's that. I said, Oh, well

170
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>that's the Community Center. I said, oh really, what do

171
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 1>they do there? I said, Broadway stuff and big shows

172
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and everything. Oh, it's really popular. They said Broadway shows

173
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in this town. Oh yeah, it happens all the time.

174
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 1>And it was like, no sweat. Nobody was trying to

175
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>sell me anything. They're just like, yeah, that's kind of

176
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>what we do here. And I'm like going. I saw

177
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that in the Price Tower and I'm thinking myself, well,

178
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>listening's out too bad. It sounds actually pretty darn good.

179
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm glad you brought that up, Tom, because a

180
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>lot of people assume that the shows that are on

181
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the stages in the Broadway shows in the Broadway Series

182
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>are local or regional acts. But these are national touring shows.

183
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>They are so they're the cast, the same cast that

184
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you would see in Tulsa or Kansas City, or Dallas

185
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>or Chicago. So what happens is the after the shows

186
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>sit down in those larger cities where people are coming

187
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>to the larger cities to fill the house every night,

188
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>then they start going out on the road and they'll

189
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>do full weeks or split weeks, and then eventually they

190
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>cut it down to single nights. So you can imagine

191
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>how the cast is. You know, they're very energetic, but

192
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>they're in a different town every night, kind of like

193
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:57.720
<v Speaker 2>a band is on the.

194
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>That makes it exciting too, because although you get there,

195
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 1>you get a little bit of a walk through and everything, okay,

196
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that's where this is. Okay, there's the bathrooms. We're good,

197
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and the next thing you know, they're putting on that

198
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>show and it's not the same old, same old. This

199
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 1>is fresh. This is as exciting as a dynamic. This

200
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 1>is new. I might have been doing these lines for

201
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>ten years, but you know what, it's fresh tonight. And

202
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>we're the beneficiaries of that because they're coming out there,

203
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, all filled with adrenaline, ready to perform just

204
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>for you in a new place, in the new setting.

205
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>They're always amazed. They walk in our stage and they

206
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, they hear Broadway or Bartlesville Community Center and

207
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 2>they're like, oh, we're you know, we're going to be

208
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 2>in a school hall kind of thing. And they walk

209
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 2>in and see that Marie Foster performing Arts hall and

210
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 2>they're just blown away by the acoustics, the way the

211
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, the building looks that the architecture have in

212
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 2>the Price Tower right across the the green space from us.

213
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're very thrilled.

214
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, it is really something else. I think

215
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the first program that we saw it was actually CMT's

216
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma when we moved here and the kids did it

217
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 1>and we were looking around like this is We thought

218
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 1>it was big on the outside, it's a huge. And

219
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 1>they stopt that room over there for other things and wow,

220
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and then the sound We then later saw our Jersey

221
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Boys and the Million Dollar Quartet, the Beatles Group of Liverpool.

222
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Liverpool Legends, and the sound.

223
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>The acoustics are just absolutely awesome, you know.

224
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 2>The world renowned, and we take great pride in that.

225
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Even you know, probably it's probably even fifteen years ago.

226
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>We redid the acoustical drapes in the building. We went

227
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to great lengths. The Trust Authority did all their research

228
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>by bringing in experts from around the country measuring the

229
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>acoustical properties of the room before they took the old

230
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>drapes down, making sure that the new fabric was the

231
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>right caliber, and then they measured the afterwards and they

232
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>were just like right there with the same quality. And

233
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it makes all the difference for a great

234
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 2>stage like ours.

235
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>One thing I've noticed too, is that there's a little

236
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>bit of a change in the sound system used to be.

237
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>If you went to something like this, I'll compare it

238
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 1>to the Phillips Center at the University of Florida. You'd

239
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>see these big speakers just hanging off the ceiling and

240
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 1>off the wall, and you're going to get crushed by

241
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>one if you had anything the signs of a trummor

242
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>well we've got you. How do you make so much

243
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>sound with so much less you don't have all that

244
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 1>bulky stuff.

245
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Around there definitely a question for our tech director, Bill Sheverton.

246
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, sounds awesome.

247
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>But yes, technology is just amazing. I mean, you know

248
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.559
<v Speaker 2>our lighting texts and Bill and his crew they're walking

249
00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 2>around with an iPad now instead of a big light board,

250
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, and just monitoring sound and lights from their iPad.

251
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 2>And the equipment is getting smaller too, so those those

252
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 2>big you know, the big speakers you were talking about,

253
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>are now smaller but better quality. It's just unbelievable how

254
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>quickly that changes all for.

255
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>The good too. And this is really awesome. So how

256
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>can we find out online what's coming up and then

257
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>just by saying, oh that looks good, punch a button

258
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 1>on our keyboard and buy tickets.

259
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so you can go to Bartlesville Center dot com

260
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 2>and in the top right corner there's a button that

261
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>says tickets. Huh it's that easy.

262
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, you've been an idiot like me can do it.

263
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>That's super easy. So you can do that online. And

264
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I know we have not lost touch with the public
