Where is the theater?

The Nightingale is located at 1416 East Fourth Street, just East of Peoria on Fourth Street.

Do you accept credit cards or have online ticketing?

Nope, we're not that fancy. Cash, check, barters, pocket lint... Admission is collected at the door, and house typically opens thirty minutes prior to a performance.

Who are you? How long have you been here?

We're simply a band of merry artists who happen to own a building and love theatre. We've been performing as an organized 501(c)3 troupe since 1995 and opened the Nightingale in 2000. If you're interested in the long answer, click the "About Us" link above.

Buy Nightingale, now at Printfection

We're selling the shirts off our backs, and away from CafePress. Nothing against CafePress, mind you. We've simply found an outlet that will save you a buck or two, offer more styles and options, and still provide professional Nightingalewear. As with our old CafePress store, the Nightingale makes no profit on any sale; we just want to see ourselves all over your body. Visit our new Printfection store and brand yourself with the Bird.

New Telephone Number: 918-633-8666

In order to serve you better, the Nightingale Theater has changed her telephone number. Beginning immediately. The new number is 918-633-8666. Please update your records, address book, cellular telephone, speed-dial, PDA, and brain to reflect this change. Remember that we are still an all volunteer non-funded non profit theater. We will not have someone waiting to take your call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the new telephone number may result in more timely responses to your message and will, in fact, save the theater much needed cash. Call today and make a reservation for Humans...

Hot, again. 2007.

The Nightingale has again made it to the Urban Tulsa Hot 100 list... "Preferring art over money, these groups are consistently producing edgy, ground-breaking material" We're in our ninth season now; come out and show some love.
