Oliver! (50th Anniversary)
Music, Lyrics and Book by Lionel Bart
Based on the Charles Dickens novel "Oliver Twist"
Oliver is a young orphan in a large workhouse who draws a great deal of attention to himself when he asks for more at the dinner table. No one likes a greedy orphan, so Oliver finds himself sold to an undertaker. He runs away, and is taken in by a group of pickpockets who try to teach the innocent boy to be a thief. Eventually he escapes from the clutches of the crime ring and finds love, happiness, and a home.

Ellie Sellars will direct Footlite's fourth production of Oliver!
