"Stripped", the student run theater company of Oklahoma City University, is pleased to announce the four shows selected for their "Stripped" New Musicals Project this April.

OCU presents these projects in a "stripped" manner...meaning no sets, costumes, props, sets, orchestra or choreography. Just actors, a piano and the show.

After receiving numerous submissions from composers in the United States, Canada and England, the "Stripped" judging committee selected four shows for the presentation.

"Stripped" is pleased to announce: Flyer, The Musical, book, music and lyrics by Diana Belkowski and Dan Tramon, additional book by Donald Feltham; The Gift, book & lyrics by Maryrose Wood, music by Andrew Gerle; Plane Crazy, book, music and lyrics by Suzy Conn; and I Married Wyatt Earp, book by Sheilah Rae and Thomas Edward West, music by Michele Brourman, lyrics by Sheilah Rae.

The shows will feature directors and students from Oklahoma City University's Bass School of Music. This event will coincide with the opening of the new, $38 million Bass School of Music facility which will provide state- of-the-art learning opportunities for OCU students.

"We are pleased to present these new musicals and give them exposure to a new audience", stated Dan Meagher, "Stripped" Producer. "Oklahoma City University has always been a prominent educator in the field of musical theater, and now we're pleased to be a prominent factor in the development of new musical theater. We're excited to share the creative visions of these composers with everyone."
