Lynn Riggs’s classic American folk tragedy masterpiece 'Green Grows the Lilacs' permanently altered the commercial stage landscape during its historic 1931 premiere at the Guild Theatre, running for an accomplished 64 performances under the banner of the Theatre Guild before serving as the direct structural blueprint for Rodgers and Hammerstein's *Oklahoma!*. Set inside the sun-drenched Indian Territory frontier in 1900, the melody-infused naturalistic drama charts Curly McClain and Laurey Williams navigating a cowboy romance.
