OCU Kicks off a Rousing Season of Musical Theater
Oklahoma City University is a venerable institution, established before Oklahoma even became an official state. Founded in 1904 as Epworth University in Midtown, the school changed names and locations a few times before it was moved to its current spot on NW 23rd Street and officially re-named Oklahoma City University a full century ago in 1924.
