A musical based on the life story of one of their own company members, Life and Times is part of a large body of work by Nature Theater of Oklahoma generated from recorded telephone conversations. Using a verbatim transcript of the over 16 hours of recorded audio as libretto, the company has, with heroic effort, created an original musical extravaganza – the tale generated from the single simple question, asked of a friend: “Can you tell me your life story?” Episode 2 of a planned series of ten episodes; tours with Episode 1.
