http://tulsaprojecttheatre.com/about-tpt.htmlTulsa Project Theatre is the city's only Actor's Equity Association affiliated organization.
Since producing its first performance of The Rocky Horror Show at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2010, Tulsa Project Theatre has become the city's only Actor's Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers, affiliate. Last season TPT entered into an agreement with Tulsa Symphony and Local 94, the musician's union, to have the professional orchestra perform in all musical productions. In September 2014, the organization opened Academy Tulsa Project Theatre offering professional training in vocal, acting and stage performance. Academy classes are open to everyone and need-based scholarships are available courtesy of the Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation and the Tulsa Project Theatre Board of Directors.
Not a first for relatives (who was it this year or last who played Dad and Tony as real life father and son?), but yes, I believe that's a first for the Billy/Grandma connection.

That's got to be a first in Billy lore.

That was in Raleigh, Sean......Ira David Wood III played Jackie, and Ira David Wood IV played Tony. In addition, IDWIII's daughter (and IDWIV's sister) was married to Jamie Bell, and their child is both grandson and nephew to the Woods #III and #IV.angelenroute wrote:Not a first for relatives (who was it this year or last who played Dad and Tony as real life father and son?), but yes, I believe that's a first for the Billy/Grandma connection.
