EDMOND —
Herbert W. Armstrong College will present the first musical theater production of its very own, “Jeremiah.” This musical features the art of step-dancing and will make its debut at Armstrong Auditorium at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Jeremiah is Armstrong College’s first production to combine the vocals of musical theater along with the entertainment of step dancing. More than 120 people are involved in the production, including students from local universities and Armstrong’s Imperial Academy, Armstrong faculty, staff and local community members, as well as a 12-piece orchestra.
“We have done many of our own dance recitals and other vocal showcases, but Jeremiah is the first full production to combine these efforts into one musical theater piece,” said Ryan Malone, music director at Armstrong College. “The melding of these two art forms makes for a completely new musical theater experience with a timeless storyline that anyone can relate to.”
Admission to “Jeremiah” is free and guests are encouraged to arrive early to select their seats. The musical serves as the end to the Armstrong International Cultural Foundation’s archaeology exhibition about Jeremiah. Guests can supplement the theatrical performance with real-life artifacts from Jeremiah’s time period while Armstrong Auditorium hosts the world premiere of nearly a dozen archaeological artifacts discovered in Jerusalem in the exhibit, Seals of Jeremiah’s Captors Discovered. The interactive exhibit includes figurines, large vessels and royal seal impressions dating to biblical times, which will be on display in the lobby during the performance.
The “Jeremiah” musical provides a fun and entertaining pause to Armstrong Auditorium’s 2012-13 performing arts series. The season continues in 2013 with back-to-back performances from the Russian National Ballet Theatre on Jan. 28-29.

Clean-up continues for Edmond tornado victims
Mid-June is the approximate time that work is expected to be completed in Edmond for replacing nine transmission structures lost in Sunday’s tornado, said Brian Alford, OG&E spokesperson. Repairs could take longer, depending on weather conditions, he added.
Work in Edmond focuses on the Forest Oaks and Thornbrooke additions, both along Bryant Avenue. Twelve homes were damaged in the city by the storm that also dropped hail on northwest Edmond. Major damage impacted three of the homes while the other nine homes had minor damage, said Matt Stillwell, director of the city’s emergency communications and management.
Contract crews from out-of-state are helping OG&E in their restoration effort throughout central and southern Oklahoma, Alford said. -
