Live Theater: "Oliver!"

Friday, Aug. 4 - Sunday, Aug. 6

Under the auspices of the City of Leavenworth Parks & Recreation Department, the River City Community Players presents Lionel Bart's classic musical, "Oliver!"

As stated on Music Theatre Internationals's website, "The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family."
