In
1971, a group of Drumright Citizens organized a benefit production to
purchase a piano for the Community Center. They chose an old-time melodrama, Curse You, Jack Dalton followed
by an olio, presented on February 23rd in the high school auditorium. The
fledgling actors raised over $800, purchased the
piano and proceeded to produce another play. Thus the Drumright Community
Players were born.

"Never
Too Late"
1983
|
A melodrama and olio has been
presented each year since the first "Oil Patch Jamboree" in 1972.
The Players are proud that Drumright is the smallest town in Oklahoma with
a continuing community theater.
Before finding a
permanent home, the Community Players performed in a variety of places,
from the high school auditorium to any available empty building downtown.
In 1992, they purchased the 1914 historical building that has become
Boomtown Theater. With donations from individuals and groups, the theater
has gradually undergone renovations - including improved seating,
restrooms, carpeting and ceiling fans. As funds become available other
improvements will be made.

The Boomtown Theater is a
highlight for tour groups who are coming to Drumright in increasing
numbers. The community of Drumright loves to see bus loads of our theater
friends roll into town for dinner and a show.
Since the first
donation in 1971, the Drumright Community Players has through the years
made contributions to various worthwhile causes - Drumright Soccer
Association, Drumright Fire Department, Drumright High School Auditorium
Renovation and "Say No To Drugs." The Players are proud to be a
part of this unique Oklahoma town - Drumright!

"If you have had the
opportunity to see one of their productions, you will walk away knowing that
good theater cannot be confined to Broadway."
"The
Players approach a play with an almost professional dedication, in their
determination to bring the best possible live theater to the community."

"
Looking forward to being with you with
our bus load of ardent fans, ready for another of your delightful
productions."
"After
seeing "Nunsense", several people in our
group commented they thought your production was more enjoyable the Broadway
version."
"Boomtown
Theater gives the most remarkable, professional musicals and dramas. It is
small, intimate and patron involved... a family atmosphere that is seldom
found in the new era of entertainment."
