Southern Plains Productions is proud to present Wakka Wakka’s Dead as a Dodo, October 23-25, 2025, at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City.

Deep within the underworld, two friends, a boy and a dodo, are digging for fresh bones to replace their ancient, skeletal forms which are quickly deteriorating. One day, something miraculous happens. The dodo sprouts new feathers. Soon, a steady transformation begins to unravel the natural order. The great reversal has begun.
But what will happen to the two friends?

Dead as a Dodo is a family-friendly, puppet musical odyssey utilizing humor and magical visual effects to explore some of humanity’s most basic fears and our quest for immortality.

Don't miss this show, hailed by The New York Times as “ceaselessly inventive.” It’s like a Pixar film brought to life on stage.

Note: This production incorporates fog, loud noises and strobe lighting. Appropriate for ages 7 and up.
