NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! takes a fast-paced, irreverent look at the news of the world -- and the weird. Now in its tenth year, the show offers a modern and sometimes raucous twist on the old-time radio quiz show, mining NPR news stories for quiz questions. The host is Peter Sagal, who is an award-winning playwright and father of three in his spare time. Legendary NPR newscaster Carl Kasell is the show's official judge and scorekeeper.

Each week, Sagal quizzes the panelists and listeners to determine just how closely they paid attention to the week's news. He serves up questions in all forms: lightning rounds, tape from NPR news shows, multiple choice, identify the "fake" stories, and fill-in-the-blank limericks. Listeners call 888-WAIT-WAIT for a chance to win the most coveted prize in all of public radio: a custom-recorded greeting by Carl Kasell for their home's answering machine or voicemail.

One of the most popular segments is "Who's Carl This Time?," in which Kasell recites quotes from the week's newsmakers as contestants guess who he is impersonating. "This is the only show where you'll get to hear NPR's most senior newscaster impersonate Britney Spears," the Wait Wait producers say. Another signature Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me! game, "Not My Job," invites well-known celebrities to answer questions that are out -- way out -- of their area of expertise.

A rotating trio of witty panelists completes the Wait Wait team. They include author and humorist Roy Blount, Jr., advice columnist Amy Dickinson, Washington Post columnist Roxanne Roberts, writer/performer Adam Felber, author P.J. O'Rourke, comedian Paula Poundstone and humorist/pundit Mo Rocca.

Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me! is a co-production of NPR and Chicago Public Radio. The program, created by the same folks who produce Car Talk, debuted nationally in 1998 and quickly established itself as one of public radio's favorite weekend programs.

Oklahoma City Ballet is proud to bring you two master works from two of 20th century’s most influential choreographers, plus two new world premieres from two talented artists who are making a name for themselves in 21st-century dance.

George Balanchine’s Valse Fantaisie was first created in 1967 on the New York City Ballet and is a whirl of perpetual motion. This Oklahoma premiere ballet is set to music by Mikhail Glinka.

Created in 1981 on the Joffrey Ballet, Gerald Arpino’s Light Rain is a slick and energetic ensemble work capturing a youthful and exuberant spirit in contemporary movement. Oklahoma City Ballet will be the first company to dance Light Rain outside of the Joffrey Ballet. The music is by Douglas Adams and Russ Gauthier.

The other two pieces in the program are world premieres by Jessica Lang and Robert Mills. Lang is one of ballet's most sought-after choreographers, having created work for American Ballet Theater and Pennsylvania Ballet, among many others. A new work from Oklahoma City Ballet's artistic director Robert Mills finishes out this exciting evening of classic and modern repertory.
