Page 4 April 2017 The Oklahoma Squeezins There is still time for you to see one of the most enjoyable plays of the year, with an included accordion. Evie and I had the pleasure of sitting through the play “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” starring our own OAC member Lucas Ross. The play is cute, very entertaining, and somewhat adult, and portrays a fact of life. Two con men, a beautiful woman, and the elite French Riviera collide in this sexy and irreverent farce. Lucas will again perform at the Sooner Theatre, 101 E. Main Street, Norman, OK, next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (April 7-9) at 8:00 pm. Lucas supports the OAC -- please support him. Trust us, you will like it!
