A First for the Oklahoma Opry

With your help, the Oklahoma Opry’s new Bricktown home will soon be brought to life. For the first time in its history, all of the Opry’s programs will be under one roof: its iconic Saturday evening shows, Guitars for Veterans and Granville Community Music School.

The plans to renovate the building are stunning. Vacant since the 1980s, the Opry’s new headquarters at 19 E. California will soon house a magnificent theater, classrooms, piano labs, a parent resource center, gift shop, concessions, green rooms, dressing rooms and more.

The Brick by Brick Campaign has two phases, totaling $6.5 million. The first phase will allow for the purchase of the building. Phase 2 will see much of the key infrastructure work completed, including the creation of the theater and school spaces, allowing all Opry programming to happen in the space.
