At 2 p.m. participants of the Summer Theatre Ensemble will be performing a portion of the upcoming musical Oliver! Stop by the barn and watch youth from Andover and nearby communities as they sing and act out some of this classic production during the Andover Farmers’ Market!
The Summer Theatre Ensemble is proud to announce the opening of its twelfth season with the production of OLIVER!, one of the greatest musicals of all times. Celebrating fifty years of Lionel Barts’ timeless masterpiece and winner of three Tony awards, this beloved British musical is based on Charles Dickens’ classic, “Oliver Twist.“ Set in Victorian London, it vividly brings to life the poignant tale of a young orphan who “asks for more” in the workhouse and thus begins his search for happiness through a series of events filled with mystery and intrigue. Audiences will be captivated by spectacular musical numbers portraying the pathos and drama of the many colorful characters he encounters: “Food, Glorious Food”, “Om Pah Pah’’, “Consider Yourself”, “I’d Do Anything”, “Who Will Buy,” “Where is Love?”, and “As Long As He Needs Me.” This fast moving and engaging family-oriented production, performed for the first time at the majestic Collins Center, will be accompanied by a fifteen piece professional orchestra.
Artistic director, Charles Gracy of ACT Theater Company, leads a talented cast of twenty-seven young people from Andover and surrounding communities. They will take the stage on Friday, August 6 and Saturday August 7th at 7:30 pm with a matinee performance at 4:00 pm on Sunday, August 8th. Tickets ($14 seniors and students , $16 adults) can be purchased from Learning Express, Park Street; Department of Community Services on Bartlet Street 978-623-8274, from cast members, and at-the-door.
