About this event
History: The Crystal Theatre was built in Okemah in 1921. Ten years later, with the advent of talking pictures, the theatre was remodeled in the Atmospheric-style with floating clouds, twinkling stars, stained glass lights and cut-velvet upholstered seats. The Crystal continued as a movie house for four decades and then into the twenty-first century when it closed. “Save the Crystal” Theatre is a project of the Okemah Community Improvement Association. Proceeds from the race will go to restore this historic theatrical landmark.
