The Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheater was the first and principal structure built in Oklahoma City by the civilian conservation corps. It was established to provide jobs for economic recovery during the depression. It was constructed from Native Sandstone during 1935 and 1936, with workers camping near the park. The first performance was "The Circus of 21 Death-Defying Acts." Other events have included an Annual Easter Pageant, concerts, dance programs, plays, and public meetings. The Amphitheater fell into disrepair in the 1960's, but was restorated in the late 1970's. The Zoo Amphitheatre offers many outside live music events.

The Zoo Amp is my favorite place to see concerts. There's nothing like laying back in a lawnchair under the stars and listneing to good live music, in spite of the overpriced beer. :)
