OKLAHOMA!
Templeton High School Theatre Arts
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.

Matt Stone
The GREATEST ELVIS CONCERT EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA is coming to the Templeton Performing Arts Center on June 10th!
Internationally recognized by Graceland and the Elvis Presley Estate, the show’s star, Matt Stone, performs the CLOSEST THING to the King in history! Matt brings a never-before-seen level of authenticity and attention to detail to his craft, CAPTIVATING audiences with flawless recreation of the King of Rock ’n’ Roll in his prime! He’s not an “Elvis impersonator,” but a talented vocalist portraying the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME, earning the approval of Elvis’ friends and family, who have said:
“When I heard [Matt]... now if I close my eyes that’s Elvis! It touched my heart. The only person I ever heard sing like that was my brother, and [Matt] was real close—SCARY— that’s how close it was.” -Billy Stanley (Elvis' stepbrother)
“Matt is incredibly gifted & handsome, with incredible energy and sex appeal.” Joyce Bova (Longtime Elvis girlfriend)
He has even been heard on SiriusXM's ELVIS RADIO! Backed by a sensational all-star band, Matt Stone MESMERIZES fans into blue-suede bliss as they’re HYPNOTIZED into thinking Elvis is BACK IN THE BUILDING at the PEAK of his prowess!
OUR FOUNDATION & FUTURE
Through our non-profit (sister) organization, the Templeton Performing Arts Center Foundation, we have been able to bring a number of improvements and enhancements to our venue.
State-of-the-art upgrades — including new LED CYC lights, advanced LED moving lights, a professional-grade light console, a cutting-edge sound board, a new Clear-Com system, a new greenroom stage monitoring system, and a digital audio snake — would not be possible without the generous support of the Foundation and donors.
Visit our Foundation website for more information about its role and commitment to securing additional funding for the Performing Arts Center's continuous growth and potential to be one of the premiere theatrical venues in all of San Luis Obispo county.
