The Grapes of Wrath - Nov. 1-4 & 8-11Oklahoma's history and heritage: loss and renewal, despair and perseverance, and the final triumph of love and courage over hatred and unbearable grief.

Oklahoma Centennial
OSP's performance of Grapes of Wrath is an Official Oklahoma Centennial Project.

Frank Galati’s renowned adaptation of Steinbeck’s classic The Grapes of Wrath brings the gritty horror of the Dust Bowl and the “Okie” pilgrimage to California into searing theatrical life. This journey to salvation and the awakening of a consciousness that would shape the society and politics of America for years to come is vividly rendered in the trials and travels of the Joad family and those they encounter on a road we all will recognize.

OSP's production of The Grapes of Wrath is graciously underwritten by Devon Energy.

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
