OLIVER!

Directed by Maryann Nagel & Greg Violand

Sold from the only life he’s ever known in a toilsome workhouse to be an apprentice coffin-follower for a jocund undertaker, the orphaned
and hapless Oliver escapes to find someplace he truly belongs. Taken in by a band of young pickpockets, Oliver thinks he’s finally found a family until a robbery gone sour incurs the wrath of their menacing leader. Filled with Broadway hits and heart, “consider
yourself” invited to Oliver this summer!
