OLIVER! Set for NC Theatre, 7/17

The NC Theatre will present OLIVER! from July 17th through July 22nd at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. Casting for the production will be announced at a later date.

Based on the Charles Dickens tale, Oliver! brings to life the ever- popular story of the young runaway orphan, colorful Artful Dodger, infamous Fagin and his gang of pickpockets, sinister Bill Sykes, nurturing and lovable Nancy and a host of memorable characters. Through classic songs like "As Long As He Needs Me," "Where is Love?", "Who Will Buy?" and many more, triumph overcomes heartbreak in this production for audiences of all ages.

Tickets can be purchased online here.
