SYNOPSIS:
Based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, this musical follows the life of abuse a young orphan endures as he lives in a workhouse, only to be sold into indentured servitude to an undertaker for daring to ask for more food. The new living arrangement proves to be no better and he is locked in a cellar for fighting. After escaping the cellar, Oliver falls in with a gang of pick-pockets and thieves until he is apprehended for a crime he did not commit. As a way of compensating for this wrongful accusation, the wealthy victim of the pick-pockets offers to take Oliver in.

The thieves now fear Oliver will identify them to the authorities, so they hatch a plan to kidnap him and they succeed. The action that follows leads to an exciting finale as the curtain comes down. This show promises to be amazing with lots of action and many familiar and noteworthy songs. Make plans to audition for this wonderful musical, or help out on a crew backstage, or even enjoy it as a member of our audience.
