2020-2021 Season Announcement details inside! First Oklahoma Bank President and Co-CEO Tom Bennett III with Chairman and Co-CEO Tom Bennett, Jr.

Henry Would Love It! My grandfather, Henry G. Bennett, would love The McKnight Center. As president of Okla- homa A&M from 1928-50, he led the creation of the campus Master Plan which featured the construction of many buildings. He loved architecture—particularly the Collegiate Georgian style—and buildings, but he most valued the good things that happened for students within those structures. Grandfather would offer a resounding “bravo” to The McKnight Center, OSU’s ‘world-class epicenter for the arts’, and “thank you” to those who made it happen. — Tom Bennett, Jr Chairman and Co-CEO First Oklahoma Bank

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS Romance! Adventure! Gershwin! Who could ask for anything more? Inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, An American in Paris transports the audience to post-war Paris, where romance is in the air and youthful optimism reigns. Gershwin’s soaring melodies are matched by gravity-defying dance as the world rediscovers the power of love. Hoping to start a new life, World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan chooses newly liberated Paris to try and make his mark as a painter. Jerry’s life becomes complicated when he meets the mysterious Lise, a young Parisian ballet dancer with a haunting secret who, like Jerry, is yearning for a new beginning.
