Welcome to Tulsa Spotlight Theatre
The Best Theater in Tulsa
And the spotlights dimmed but only for a time
What is going on?
The Spotlight Theatre has a big family of audiences, fans, actors, producers, directors and administrators. We want everyone to be safe for many years to come. We have decided to suspend our performances until it is safe for all of you to enjoy all that the Spotlight Theatre has to offer. Join our mailing list and we will keep you posted on what is going on in the theatre. Thank you for your love and support over the years. We will do our best to weather this storm and after that we will offer you performances to make you laugh, cry and jeer.“
The Drunkard Goes Viral
Stephen Ryan has been performing at the Tulsa Spotlight Theatre for several years and has performed over a hundred times. Along with Harvey Green, the villain, Stephen also portrays Joe Morgan, the drunkard, and Willie Hammond, the hero. He has also performed in various other plays, mostly at Sapulpa Community Theater where he has appeared in Death of a Salesman, And Then There Were None and Every Christmas Story Ever Told. Stephen would like to thank the Spotlight Theatre for the continued opportunity to perform and he is looking forward to returning to the stage again in a safe and healthy future.

The Drunkard and the Olio
​
It began on Nov. 14, 1953 and has never stopped! That’s how The Drunkard became America’s longest-running play. More than 3,000 Tulsans have participated on or offstage. More than a quarter-million have seen the show, making it a laughter-filled Tulsa tradition in which temperance triumphs and evildoers receive their merited fates. There are even tomatoes to throw at the villain!
