A rite of Summer for us is a trip out to the quaint little town of Sharon and the amazing talent we find every year at the Sharon Playhouse.
We’ve missed bearing witness to their fabulous productions!
We’ll be visiting in time for their production of OLIVER!
Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart's classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.
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.
We will stop at a local area restaurant for a delicious lunch (INCLUDED IN COST). Cannot have our bellies growling during the performance!
VERY limited seating. Advance reservations and payment required. Please call / email the office to make your arrangements.
