Dickens of a Summer! is unlike anything seen before at Rabbit Run Theater.
This week marks the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, and in celebration of
this literary genius, all of the summer's productions at the theater are
based on the ground breaking works of this amazing author!

 

Productions for the summer include, The Mystery of Charles Dickens, Oliver!,
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby and The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

 

The Mystery of Charles Dickens is a one-man show that has been pre-cast.

 

Winner of three Tony Awards, Oliver! has delighted audiences for decades
with its fantastic musical score and heartfelt lyrics.  Production dates for
Oliver! are June 15 through June 30.

 

Numerous roles are available for boys ages 6 through 12 and men and women
ages high school to adult.  Actors auditioning should prepare to sing 16
bars of a Broadway-style song.  Please bring sheet music for an accompanist.
No CDs.

 

Oliver! is directed by Brendan Sandham with musical direction by Ed Leonard.

 

Spontaneous, merry and even raucous describe the musical The Mystery of
Edwin Drood, winner of five Tony Awards.  The show is directed by Brint
Learned; musical director to be determined.  Production dates are Aug. 17
through Sept. 1.

 

Numerous roles are available for men and women ages 16 to adult.  Actors

The show is directed by Ann Hedger.  Production dates are July 6 through

Numerous roles are available for Nicholas Nickleby for men and women ages 16
