Next Narrative Monologue Competition
Tulsa’s Next Narrative Monologue Competition 2026 is off and running! True Colours Theatre Company’s Next Narrative® Monologue Competition (NNMC), the company’s signature education program, leverages the power of monologues to enhance both academic study and social-emotional skills. The program is unique in that each monologue has been commissioned by True Colours specifically for the program, on themes that resonate with 21-century teens.
NNMC is open to all high school students in grades nine through 12 who are under 18 years old. Through a range of program styles, including after-school, master classes, and in-school residencies, students work with teaching artists to find their voices through monologue selection and performance.
Tulsa is one of nine regions around the country to be a part of this impactful program. The first weekend of February, participating students will convene in our own Norman Theatre to be coached by teaching artists Nicholas Cains, Obum Ukabam and Nicole Billups, before performing their monologue for the coaches in the preliminary competition, receiving feedback and notice of finals qualification.
March 5 through 8, the students who have made the final round will be coached and rehearsed with said teaching artists, as well as Atlanta-based arts coach and directordramaturg Jade Lambert-Smith, before performing for a public audience and professional adjudicators on Monday, March 9. The top three participants, as rated by the adjudicators, will receive a college scholarship from TPAC.
The top two winners of the competition receive an all-expensespaid trip to New York City. There, on the legendary stage of the Apollo Theatre, they will compete for cash prizes in the National Finals against 24 other regional winners. In addition to the National Finals competition at the Apollo Theatre, the national finals weekend includes professional development workshops with theatre professionals and tickets to a Broadway show.

The Future Takes
INTRODUCING THE TULSA PAC YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD
When the curtain rises at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, audiences experience the magic of the moment: powerful performances, shared emotion and the unmistakable energy of live art. But behind the scenes, the TPAC is also investing in what comes next: the next generation of arts advocates, leaders and supporters. This season marks the debut of an exciting new initiative, the TPAC’s Youth Advisory Board.
Launched late last year, the Youth Advisory Board brings together Tulsa-area students in grades nine through 12 who share a passion for the performing arts, even if they don’t see themselves on stage. The board was created to engage young people who love theatre, music and dance and are curious about how arts organizations operate, thrive and serve their communities.
“Our Vice President of Development and Community Engagement, Sara Phoenix, identified a real opportunity,” says Pete Otis, TPAC Director of Development. “There are so many students who care
deeply about the arts but may not want to be performers. We wanted to create a space where they could learn, contribute and help shape the future of arts engagement in Tulsa.”
Tulsa has long been known as a city that values creativity and cultural expression. The Youth Advisory Board is rooted in that tradition. By welcoming students into the conversation early, the TPAC staff hopes to foster lifelong relationships with young people who will one day become patrons, donors, board members and champions of the arts.
What is the Youth Advisory Board?
The Youth Advisory Board is composed of high school students who meet every other month during the school year. Members are encouraged to participate actively, share ideas and collaborate with TPAC staff and the TPACT Board of Trustees. The inaugural cohort began its work in October and will continue through May. In future years, applications will be open in late July or early August for a September start.
Takes the Stage
The application process is intentionally accessible. Interested students provide basic contact information and respond to a few short questions about their relationship to the performing arts, why arts success matters to them and how they might contribute to the TPAC’s mission. Applications are made available through the TPAC website during the application window.
From the start, the TPAC made a deliberate decision to empower students by giving them real ownership. “Rather than prescribing everything for them, we wanted each cohort to develop its own mission and goals,” Otis explains. “Our role is to guide and support them, but their voices lead the way.”
Building the Foundation and Looking Ahead
In its first year, the Youth Advisory Board has focused on establishing a strong foundation. Members have worked in defining core principles, adopting by-laws and clarifying the board’s purpose so
future cohorts can build upon their efforts. It’s important, meaningful work, and the students have risen to the challenge.
At its heart, the Youth Advisory Board reflects the TPAC’s commitment to access, education and community well-being. Research consistently shows that engagement with the arts supports mental and emotional health, builds empathy and strengthens communities. By introducing students in the inner working of a nonprofit arts organization, the TPAC is helping them see how creativity and civic responsibility intersect.
A Promising First Act
Though the Youth Advisory Board is only a few months old, its impact is already being felt. “We’ve been incredibly inspired by the passion and dedication of this group,” says Otis. “They are thoughtful, engaged and eager to make a difference. We’re exceedingly proud of them and can’t wait to see what they achieve.”

Global Change, Local Impact: Peter Zeihan in Tulsa
When geopolitical strategist
Peter Zeihan talks about the future, he doesn’t start with headlines or hot takes — he starts with maps.
“I was the map kid,” Zeihan says. “I just needed to know why everything was where it was and why it fit the way it did.” That early curiosity grew into a career that now places him among the most influential voices on geopolitics, economics and global power. On March 13, 2026, Zeihan will bring that perspective to Tulsa for a talk on Shifting World Powers and the Impact on the United States.
A New York Times bestselling author of five books, including The End of the World Is Just Beginning and The Accidental Superpower, Zeihan studies how geography, demographics, energy and economics shape nations. His forecasts are often bold and sometimes unsettling but always grounded in data. “My job,” he says, “is to help people make sense of the world.”
According to Zeihan, the world is undergoing a once-in-a-generation shift driven by two major forces. The first is the breakdown of globalization as we’ve known it,
which is a system largely created and maintained by the United States after World War II. “That structure is in its final years,” he explains. “When it goes, it changes the economic foundation for every country.”
The second force is demographic. After decades of industrialization, many countries are running out of working-age adults. “We’re not running out of kids,” Zeihan says. “That happened 40 years ago. Now we’re running out of workers.” Either trend alone would be disruptive. Together, they signal what Zeihan calls “the end of the world as we know it.” But that doesn’t mean the future is bleak everywhere. “What’s bad on the whole,” he notes, “can be astonishingly positive for specific locations.”
That’s where Tulsa and Oklahoma come in. As global supply chains fracture and manufacturing shifts closer to home, the United States faces the need to rebuild its industrial capacity. Zeihan believes regions with energy resources, infrastructure potential, and workforce availability, like Oklahoma, are well positioned for what comes next. Tulsa, in
“Every place has strengths under the hood ... The challenge is learning how to apply them to the future.”
PETER ZEIHAN
particular, may play a growing role as economic ties deepen across North America.
Zeihan’s work isn’t just about predicting disruption; it’s about helping communities adapt. Community development groups are among his favorite audiences. “Every place has strengths under the hood,” he says. “The challenge is learning how to apply them to the future.”
That’s why his live talks matter. In an era of rapid change, audiences aren’t just looking for predictions; they want clarity. Zeihan says the most meaningful moments often come during Q&A, when people connect global forces to their own lives and communities.
His advice is straightforward: “Build. Build capacity. Build infrastructure. Shorten the timeline to getting real projects online.”
Zeihan doesn’t promise easy answers, but he offers something increasingly rare: a clear framework
for understanding what’s ahead. On March 13, Tulsa audiences will have the opportunity to engage directly with that framework and explore what global change could mean right here at home.

A Dream Reawakened: Tulsa Ballet’s “The Sleeping Beauty”
Few ballets hold the power, romance and sheer grandeur of The Sleeping Beauty. This season, Tulsa Ballet invites audiences to experience the timeless fairy tale anew in an extraordinary production by Artistic Director Marcello Angelini, reimagined after the original choreography of Marius Petipa. With live accompaniment by Tulsa Symphony Orchestra and a sumptuous new visual world created exclusively for Tulsa Ballet, this The Sleeping Beauty promises to be nothing short of enchanting.
At the heart of the production is a deep respect for tradition paired with a fresh artistic vision. Angelini’s interpretation honors the classical structure and iconic Tchaikovsky
score, made famous for generations through film and fairy tale, while infusing the ballet with new energy, clarity and imagination. From Princess Aurora’s radiant journey to the dark allure of the evil fairy Carabosse, the production draws audiences into a world where romance, danger and wonder unfold in breathtaking harmony.
One of the defining elements of The Sleeping Beauty is its stunning visual design, created by internationally acclaimed designer Emma Kingsbury. With a career spanning theatre, opera, film and ballet, Kingsbury brings a lifelong love of storytelling and character to every detail.
“I leant into the romance of this piece,” Kingsbury says. “Listening to Tchaikovsky’s music, you feel a responsibility to create something in harmony with it — to let the beauty, elegance and emotion lead.”
Kingsbury’s designs evoke a dreamlike world inspired by European art and history, drawing from centuries of romantic painting while remaining fully alive for modern audiences.
Gossamer textures, luminous color palettes and painterly backdrops transport viewers across time, from Aurora’s christening and 16 birthday to the enchanted forest where the kingdom sleeps.
This production features entirely new scenery and costumes, commissioned specifically for Tulsa Ballet and crafted by master artisans across the globe. Costumes were created in collaboration with a renowned Roman atelier, while hand-painted scenic drops were
executed by one of Italy’s last great theatrical painters. Set pieces were built in North America, while local artisans contributed to the final magic audiences will see onstage.
“Every element, from the stitching of a tutu to the painting of a palace wall, is part of the storytelling,” Kingsbury explains. “It takes hundreds of artists working together to make this world feel real.”
Yet the spectacle extends beyond what the audiences see. Backstage, there will be a completely separate ballet all its own. Swift costume changes, massive set shifts executed in perfect timing and dancers transforming from courtiers to fairies in minutes must take place in order for the magic to happen for audiences. It must all unfold seamlessly in order for the illusion to remain intact.
Importantly, this The Sleeping Beauty is designed to welcome
everyone, from longtime ballet lovers to first-time attendees.
Angelini and Kingsbury chose not to modernize the story for shock value or to make a point but instead embrace its clarity and emotional resonance.
“There’s something comforting in recognizing the character instantly,” Kingsbury says.
“Aurora, the King and Queen, the fairies, they’re familiar, and that allows the audience to relax and be carried away.”
The result is a production that feels both grand and intimate, lavish yet thoughtfully restrained. Gold shimmers through the costumes and scenery without overwhelming the eye, and the story unfolds with a sense of
balance, joy and ultimately, peace.
As the final curtain falls, The Sleeping Beauty will leave audiences with more than just beautiful memories. It will offer escape, romance and the rare pleasure of being fully immersed in a world where good triumphs, love awakens and harmony is restored.
Whether you are revisiting a beloved classic or discovering it for the first time, Tulsa Ballet’s The Sleeping Beauty is a once-in-a-lifetime event — one that reminds us why live performance continues to captivate hearts, generation after generation.
