You will be amazed by the new Art Deco Bar, along with the state of the art lighting system! We are looking toward the future with the construction of the addition to the Theatre, which will include The Tasting Room!

December is getting close to being booked up, so if you have a party to plan for your company, hurry up and give us a call before your perfect date is taken!

Also, Westminster is continuing their contemporary worship service in the Theatre every Sunday at 11. Come in and enjoy some great worship with some REALLY great people. We would love to have your smiling face here to worship with us and to praise his name.

Mark your Calendars for Thursday October 29th @ 6:00 for our annual taste of Western. If you are unfamiliar with the taste of western, you will be sampling the finest foods from the best restaurants on the Western Avenue stretch of road, including our very own Will Rogers Theatre, Sushi neko, Musashi's and much much more! I will be posting more information as details become available. And, if you haven't added us to your twitter yet, go ahead and add us! This will keep you up to date to all the fantastic events that are open to the public that we hold here in the Theatre. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us @ 604.3015.

It might be rainy and gloomy outside, but it didn't stop the party inside the Theatre! Tonight was Chris and Ashley's wedding reception. Beautifully decorated with Ivory linens, Chocolate brown and orange, yellow and pink touches made for a very beautiful reception. It was fun working with Ashley on the colors for the room wash and really made those beautiful accent colors POP! I was fortunate to be abke to see Ashley's parents, Mary and Bill quite a bit throughout the time they booked and tonight, as they are regulars at the Lobby Bar. Mary definetly kept me on my toes (she gave me fair warning!) Everyone in the family were so great to work with and once again I feel totally blessed to be in the position I am in. Thanks so much for making my job GREAT!

Thirst for a Cure

Tonight was the 1st Annual Thirst for a Cure benefitting 'Restaurants & Rackets', A charitable foundation that provides aid to employees fo the restaurant and Club Industry. Guests were able to sample food from Oklahoma City's best and most respected restaurants, including our very own Sushi Neko, Musashi's and the Lobby Bar. Their taste buds wer quenched with the taste of over 150 wines from all around the world. The Will Rogers theatre was happy to host this event for such a worthy cause. If you missed it this year, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for it to roll around next year. Visit their website at www.thirstwine.com.

And, We're OFF!!!

It has begun! The addition to the WRT is under way. We are going to be adding bathrooms, a kitchen and another event center, "The Tasting Room" which will have a demonstation kitchen and will hold approximately 50-60 guests! We are so excited! It is going to completely change the outside of the east side of the theatre. I call this phase three of the Western Concepts transformation (as, I know we will continue to better this amazing building that has brought so many people, so many happy memories!) We all know how construction is. It is not ideal. But, we are going to work hard to make it as easy on our customers as we can. We broke ground on Friday. It was a surprise to me to come in and see a fence surrounding the construction site. I was worried that Amy would be in total shock. I went through the whole day without a single person saying one thing about the construction site. What I did hear was, "Wow! This place looks amazing", "It is so beautiful in here!" and such wonderful comments like that. I promise to my brides that the construction isn't going to make for the most wonderful first impression as your guests enter the parking lot. But, as soon as they walk in the door, they are going to be ABSOLUTELY wowed by the Theatre. With the addition of the new bar, lights and other renovations we have done to the Theatre, your guests will not remember the construction, but will remember what an amazing evening it was and how they really enjoyed the food, the drinks and the embeance of the Theatre! I ask for my brides and their fiance (along with their family and friends) to have complete faith that it WILL be the best night and they will have so many fond memories of it. Maybe in another 50 years, the person who works in my position, will be hearing YOUR memories about how you had your reception during PHASE THREE of this process and how it was one of the best nights of your life! Because it will be. I promise! Just as Amy! (Congratulations you two! Lots and Lots of love for you! Thanks for making the first weekend of construction a GREAT one! You were such a dream to work with!)

Justo and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Wedding..

Lighting is one of the most important details in your wedding reception. My bride Shelly Britten and her family and I had a lot of fun playing with the new lighting system! With classic black and white, we changed the wall washes every 15 to 30 minutes which created a fun event with LOTS of color! It was such fun for me and made for such a unique wedding reception. there was blue, red, yellow, orange, green and every other color in the spectrum. I am once again blessed to work with such a great family! Congratulations to the happy couple, Shelly and Steve! Thanks for making my job as wonderful as it is. It could never be the same without people like you. There is so much love in my heart for you and my deepest regards and congratulations! They had the key to the perfect wedding reception. You have to learn to enjoy the process and know that your guests are going to be completely satisfied and at home here at the Will Rogers Theatre!

FAST TIME AT WILL ROGERS!

ALL IN ONE WEEK PHEW !!!!!!

Also never to forget our partnership with everyone's favorite service The Vine held at the WRT on SUNDAYS

I just found this old Pic of the theatre from years gone by. You can REALLY see how we have changed, but how we can NEVER forget our past. I am always reminded by wonderful people of their memories of the theatre. From coming to a movie back in the 40's to coming and seeing "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", we can only wonder, If these walls could talk. Through the amazing vision of Carl and Anita Milam, The Will Rogers Theatre is creating new memories for the people who step through the doors. I hope in 50 years, my couples will be able to come back to the Theatre and be able to share their memories! It is great to see how Oklahoma City is really cherishing their landmarks, and The Will Rogers Theatre is one of the most beloved sites that marks our amazing state. As an actor, I owe much respect and gratitude to pioneers like Will Rogers who paved a path and truly changed what an actor can and could be. There are many more memories to be made and I am so glad to be a part of it! Let's keep our history alive. As a patron of any of the Western Concepts incredible restaurants, you can help assure that we will keep it alive! So, come on in and be a part of history. Just think of the stories you will be able to tell 50 years from now when you step through the doors again!
