Unveiling ceremonies for the Pioneer Woman Statue were originally held on April 22, 1930, the anniversary of the first land run in Oklahoma. This year, to mark that anniversary, a multimedia musical production Pioneer Women written by Debra Harden Rue will be shown at the Poncan Theatre April 23–25. The production has been endorsed by the Pioneer Woman Museum and Statue. The music and script are a historical tribute to the 12 statues that E.W. Marland commissioned in the 1920s to honor the pioneer women who shaped America.
