Oliver at Prince William Little Theatre

Prince William Little Theatre (PWLT) and Manassas Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present Lionel Bart's classic musical Oliver July 14-16 at Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA. In Oliver, Victorian England comes to life as workhouse orphan, Oliver, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of young thieves and pickpockets led by Fagin, a miser and crook. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the menacing Bill Sikes and the sympathetic and agreeable Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of finding the true love and connection of a real family.
