In the Ross Family Theatre at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center

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.

WOLF KINGS

Following their critically-acclaimed productions of The Dispute, Burrow, Whammy! and Titus Androgynous, YoungLiars return with a world premiere spectacle - Wolf Kings.  Created and Conceived by Artistic Directors Maggie Conroy and Chuck Harper, and written by Chuck Harper. 

As an antidote to their dystopian daily lives, five women meet weekly to divert, distract, and delight each other at a clandestine theatrical soiree. But tonight, the mood grows menacing as the line between oppressor and oppressed gets murky.  Part Victorian Drag Show, part Parisian Literary Salon, and part Fairy Tale Resistance Rally, Wolf Kings blends clever conversation, cryptic karaoke, delirious dance, and ferocious fortune-telling into an original YoungLiars spectacle.  Join us as we stray from the well-worn path into the deep dark forest, where hooded maidens, diabolical beasts, and morally-compromised grannies inevitably converge at that tiny cottage in the woods.

Performance runs through November 23rd.
