Now THAT is the kind of thing Tulsa needs!  A lot of!!  At least once a week!  Just the kind of thing I would expect from American Theater Company - at least in their younger days....



In a galaxy far, far away, and long, long ago, had some friends who had some old "gangster" cars (1930's style), and some imitation Thompson machine guns (semi-automatic), and thought about having a gangster 'event' in downtown Tulsa to add some drama as a theatrical event - staged like that was.  Police department was very uptight at that time (seems to be a universal constant), so didn't work out.  The reality overtook art before long, so it wouldn't really work now anyway - it would be more documentary than art.

I suspect the entire thing was staged (button pusher and everyone else was in on it)...
too much liability to have motorcycles and cars and what not zooming around.

No doubt...that was the whole point - a little street art.  Fantastic!

If they're performing on a closed-set and all of the spectators are in on it.... hardly street art.
it's just a film production

OK... I guess this was filmed in Belgium... probably for liability reasons.
