Durant, Okla. – The Southeastern Oklahoma State University Chorvettes’ fifth annual "Magnolia Drive-In" performances are scheduled for Monday, September 30, and Tuesday, October 1, in the parking lot of the Visual and Performing Arts Center.
Performances both days are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and admission is $10 per car. Presale tickets are available at www.SE.edu/VPAC.
The Magnolia Drive-In series started in 2020 and was created by the late Dell McLain as a way for patrons to experience a live Chorvettes performance during pandemic restrictions. Performances will be outdoors, but patrons are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
The Chorvettes will perform five pieces, multiple pieces by local dance studio AXIS, directed by Meagan Jorgenson, a performance by the Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival’s Academy for the Performing Arts’ show choir class, and one song by the inaugural Middle School Honor Show Choir. Over 180 middle school students will come to SE for workshops and instruction that will culminate in a performance during Magnolia Drive-In.
The Chorvettes are under the direction of Deborah Clements, with choreography by Rebecca Walters. For more information, call (580) 745-2696.
