Meyers Theatre for Young Audiences is showcasing a one-ofa-kind, 8 x 12 Mount Rushmore Lego sculpture created by artist Joseph Kraham.

The art is being exhibited at Leadership Square for the entire month of July. It is free and open to the public.

Meyers Theatre for Young Audiences, a 501(c)3, was founded in 2005 by Sandy and Stewart Meyers. The organization’s purpose is to educate, inform and entertain first through fifth grade students with live theatre.

Meyers Theatre has entertained thousands of students free-of-charge with the support of foundations, companies and individuals.

“Our latest endeavor is a commissioned original musical written and directed by Oklahoma City University’s Professors Jan McDaniel and David Heredeen entitled, Taken by Granite,” Sandy Meyers said.

The musical is set to premiere in 2023 at OCU’s Kirkpatrick Theatre and is open to students all over Oklahoma.

Joseph Kraham is an Oklahoman engineering artist who combines Lego pieces, acrylic lacquer paint and technology to create oneof-a-kind art sculptures.

“The average piece takes approximately 10 hours per square foot and there are over 1,400 Lego pieces in a square foot of artwork,” Meyers said. “His work is featured exclusively at the White Room Gallery in the Hamptons.”

The original artwork is available for purchase and all funds benefit Meyers Theatre for Young Audiences. It consists of over 150,000 pieces and took over 1,000 hours to complete.

Leadership Square is located at 211 N. Robinson, downtown Oklahoma City.
