<p fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Tulsa Fringe Festival will feature a special performance of &ldquo;More Sky: The Story of Lynn Riggs&rdquo; on Sunday, July 26, at 4:30 pm, at the Lynn Riggs Theater, located in the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center (621 E. 4th Street) in Tulsa. In this one-person show, Lynn Riggs (1899-1954) is portrayed by Russ Tallchief (Osage) who tells the story of the Cherokee poet and playwright whose folk-play &ldquo;Green Grow the Lilacs&rdquo; (1931) was adapted into the award-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical &ldquo;OKLAHOMA!&rdquo; (1943), the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize. Through letters written by and to Riggs, journals, and manuscripts, both his professional and personal life are revealed to the audience. The play, written by Gregory Hinton, was first produced in 2020 by Echo Theatre Company at the Lynn Riggs Theater. Gregory Hinton, the playwright, is an author and lecturer who produced OUT WEST, a national museum education series dedicated to shining a light on LGBTQ history and culture in the American West.&nbsp;</p>
