The Studio of the Sooner Theatre is more than a rehearsal space, more than a place to play, more than an extracurricular activity. It is a place where the magic of the theatre can evoke change in the lives of both kids and care-givers alike. The Studio of The Sooner Theatre provides complete experience for kids in our community as they explore and grow through theatrical arts. The Studio serves students age 3 to adult, has special needs classes, works with community partners to bring performing arts into therapeutic settings, and gives more than $40,000 in scholarships to students who could otherwise not afford to participate each year.

"My son did the summer program and had blast. I have never seen such an amazing studio as sooner theatre is. The shows are so well put together and the staff is amazing. Thank you for giving my son the time of his life. He had so much fun in his shows. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you from a blown away mom."
