Live theater, as showcased in the Lyric Theater of Oklahoma Live program, offers school children a transformative experience that goes beyond mere entertainment. Through engaging with musical theater productions infused with English, History,  Writing lessons, Geography, and Civility, students are immersed in a multidimensional learning environment. This interactive approach not only ignites their creativity and passion for the arts but also fosters a deeper understanding of historical contexts and language skills. By combining the magic of live performances with educational components, Lyric Theater of Oklahoma Live opens doors to a world of inspiration, knowledge, and artistic expression for young minds to explore and cherish.  This program has grown from 10,000-15,000 students per year to:

'22-'23: 128,000 Title 1 students 68/77 OK Counties

'23-'24: 167,000 Title 1 students 77/77 OK Counties

‘24-’25:  150,000 Title 1  students  61/77 OK  Counties 

We are proud to continue our commitment to delivering engaging and impactful STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) outreach programs designed to spark curiosity and a lifelong interest in science. Through dynamic, WOW-worthy experiments and real-world applications, our presentations bring science to life—showing students that discovery is not only fascinating but also all around them.

Our programs are more than demonstrations; they are interactive learning experiences. Students are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, engage directly with our presenters, and share feedback on their experience—turning passive observation into active exploration.

In the 2024–2025 school year, our team reached over 50,000 students across 125 schools. Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our reach even further, with a goal of serving 150 schools during the 2025–2026 school year.

Together, we’re building brighter futures through the power of science, creativity, and hands-on learning.

From the intricate details of printmaking to the dynamic movements of STOP Motion theater, each student is encouraged to discover their unique voice and style. The fusion of traditional techniques with modern technology creates a vibrant tapestry of creativity, where innovative ideas take shape and come to life. This program not only cultivates technical skills but also instills a sense of confidence, teamwork, and resilience in the aspiring artists.

Participants make their mark in the ever-evolving world of multimedia art. Witness the magic unfold as passion, mentorship, and creativity blend seamlessly in this dynamic program, shaping the artists of tomorrow 

 We are proud to be a major sponsor of the Dance Discovery Program, a beacon of creativity and opportunity that shines bright in both underprivileged schools and Boys and Girls Clubs. This initiative is a transformative journey where children are introduced to the art of dance, guided by passionate instructors who nurture their talents and kindle their spirits.
 Through dance, children discover the beauty of storytelling through movement, honing their physical coordination, confidence, and teamwork skills.

The Dance Discovery Program not only opens doors to the world of dance but also serves as a platform for self-discovery, resilience, and creative exploration.  

'23-'24: 50,000 Student Contact Hours

NB: This is not our usual OUTREACH program performed/taught in Title 1 Students respective Public Schools:  Nonetheless, it currently helps Title 1 Children locally until a true outreach version is functional and viable.

We recognized early in our foundation’s journey that the OKC Zoo has an important place in the educational experiences of our students.  Understanding the interdependence of species within the animal kingdom provides a picture of the importance of community, diversity, and socialization that relates to our own survival as human beings. 

We introduced ourselves and our mission to the zoo with the goal to further align  their needs and strategies with our own mission to increase the options for outreach. We are currently  assisting with the development of a virtual learning program that is an alternative to an on-site experience for third grade students for school year 2025-2026. More to follow as we accomplish more with our newer partners to be.

This is our first Interstate Performing Arts Program - in the model of and with the collaborative help of,  our dedicated partner, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma.

Designed for Title 1 Students in other states, this program will begin with Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella being presented to at needy schools in the state of Washington. We are supplying seed money and our State Theatre, Lyric, is providing inestimable help to prove how reproducible and scalable our hugely successful Lyric Interactive can be in other needy states and currently educationally disadvantaged young student populations.

Update:  during  school year  ‘24-’25  over 6000 students participated in the  Civic Interactive production of Cinderella .

A cause near and dear to our hearts is to  provide healthy and nourishing meals to those in need.  Every Sunday morning, in the predawn hours, we support this mission by preparing a fresh breakfast to over 200 homeless individuals. 

This is our first Interstate Science Program - in the model of STEAM  Live!

The Museum of Discovery has agreed to pilot an assembly style science program for and at  Title 1 schools within the State of Arkansas at no charge to the schools. Seed money was provided to support 28 experiential learning opportunities with the intention of demonstrating the need for science programming and  attaining local financial support. 

Across continents and oceans, our journeys have brought us face-to-face with the universal language of kindness and the shared hope for a brighter future. We have had the privilege of delivering school supplies to children in Peru, French Polynesia,  Africa, China , Samoa—each place unique, yet united by the joy and gratitude of its students.In every country, the simple act of handing out notebooks, pencils, and art supplies became a celebration. Faces lit up with excitement, teachers expressed their appreciation, and communities came together to share in the promise of education. These gifts, though small, carried with them the spirit of the AEIOU Foundation: a belief that every child deserves the tools to learn, dream, and succeed.   We are reminded that no matter where we come from, we are all connected by our hopes for the next generation. Through these experiences, we have witnessed firsthand how a gesture of generosity can cross borders and create lasting smiles around the world.
