Where Dreams Are Made Of

This girl is on fire, and she’s got a heck of a story too. OKC Broadway brings Hell’s Kitchen, the Broadway musical from Alicia Keys, a coming of age story about a girl looking for her own way in the heart of New York City which is loosely based on Keys’ own experiences. Featuring beloved hits like “Girl on Fire,” “If I Ain't Got You,” and “No One,” alongside new songs like the single “Kaleidoscope,” new and hardcore fans will celebrate the power of piano in the production The New York Times called “thrilling from beginning to end – a rare must-see!”
April 7-12. Tickets start at $40.

Trading Place

Swap doomscrolling for the frontier aesthetic at the Woolaroc Spring Traders Encampment, where the 1840s come roaring back to life. Set along the scenic shores of Crystal Lake on the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve grounds in Bartlesville, this immersive living history camp features more than a hundred tents and tipis, with reenactors from across the country recreating the rugged world of early traders and trappers. Wander through camp, watch craft demonstrations, learn about pioneer life, and browse period goods available for purchase. It’s equal parts history lesson and outdoor adventure.
April 9-11. Admission, free with regular Woolaroc admission ($17-$19).

The Reason Why

Country hitmakers Little Big Town bring their signature harmonies and chart-topping catalog to the Lucas Oil Live stage at Winstar World Casino in Tishomingo. The Grammy-winning group—known for fan favorites like “Boondocks,” “Day Drinking,” and “Better Man”—takes over the 6,500-seat venue for what promises to be a high-energy night of modern country. Doors open ahead of the show, so come early, grab your seat, and get ready to sing along when one of the genre’s most decorated acts lights up the stage.
April 10. Tickets start at $55.

Digging Dirt

Feel the rumble at the April Atoka Points Race, where high-powered machines tear down a three-hundred-foot sand track in a battle for speed—and bragging rights. Held at Atoka Motorsports Park, this action-packed event draws drivers from across the country competing in a season-long points series, with each race adding to their standings. Come early for the “test and tune” session the day before, then settle in for a full day of head-to-head drag racing in a laid-back, high-octane atmosphere.
April 10-11. Admission, $10. atokasanddrags.com

That's My German

Come hungry—and maybe a little competitive—at the German Feast & Auction hosted by Corn Bible Academy. This long-running Clinton tradition dishes up a hearty spread of authentic German favorites like verenika (cottage cheese dumplings), sausage, sauerkraut, zwieback rolls, and sweet treats like mousse and schnetka, a cinnamon pastry that’s become a local staple. Beyond the meal, browse the bake sale or stick around for the lively auction featuring everything from handmade quilts to vacation packages, all supporting the school’s mission.
April 11. Dinner ticket, $15. cornbible.org/german-feast
