OKLAHOMA CITY -
After a year of delays, COVID protocols, and partial shows, The Oklahoma City Ballet is celebrating a full slate of shows for their 50th anniversary season.
The season begins outdoors at Scissortail Park on September 10 with a free show called Ballet Under The Stars.
Dancers are currently hard at work in off-season practice.
Soloist Autumn Klein is preparing for several shows this summer.
“I cannot wait to be back dancing with my friends. We’ve been split into half the company in pods, so just being able to do a full production again that’s when ballet really shines,” Klein said. “You can tell a whole story, like Alice in Wonderland, which we have not been able to do for a year.”

On Dec. 12, the Dodge City High School debate team finished out its 2020 regular season with a win in its third tournament in four weeks.
The debate squad placed first in the Moundridge four-speaker tournament on the strength of one of its teams posting a perfect 10-0 record along with runner-up honors against a field of 15.
A second team posted an 8-2 mark.
“We had a very productive day,” said DCHS debate coach Steve Ray. “Winning the tournament at Moundridge was a goal we set for ourselves this week because we had never done that before. More importantly, though, we were hoping to use this tournament to qualify people for the state meet, and that is exactly what we did. We had some people who really stepped up their game to make that happen.”
