About the musical Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist is an original musical adaptation of the classic Dickens’ tale of the orphaned boy whose good and sturdy spirit support him through the difficult and exciting times of growing up in Victorian England. Enjoy all the fascinating characters involved in Oliver’s life: the Artful Dodger, Fagin, the menacing Bill Sikes and the kind hearted Nancy.  The story follows Oliver from the miseries of the workhouse to the dangerous streets of London where he becomes involved in a plot containing mystery, robbery, and kidnapping. All is resolved when Oliver’s true identity is discovered and he finds a home and happiness with his Great Uncle, Mr. Brownlow.

About UCPAC's Summer Theatre Camp featuring Children's Stage Adventures
The Children's Stage Adventures team will arrive in town with everything it takes to put on a play. On Monday morning the team will hold an audition workshop at the Union County Performing Arts Center to cast pre-registered students to perform in a musical production. The audition will give CSA participants an opportunity to put their "best foot forward" and places more emphasis on spirit, attitude and participation than talent. Nothing needs to be prepared for this workshop.

The show is rehearsed throughout the week. Rehearsals will be conducted from 10am until 3pm everyday of the week prior to performances.  Although not all cast members will be needed at every session, those auditioning must have a clear schedule for the entire week, and if selected, be able to attend all rehearsals for their role.  A detailed schedule will be distributed at the conclusion of auditions.

At the end of the week, as if by magic, a high-quality musical production of this classic tale is performed by approximately 50 local students; complete with professionally designed scenery and costumes, props and makeup, and sound and lighting equipment.  Performances will be held on Friday, July 23 at 1PM and 7PM.  Tickets for the performances will be available for purchase throughout the week of July 19-23.

This program is appropriate for students in Kindergarten through 12th grades (ages 5 through 18). Pre-registration is required.  

 Parents and teachers are always amazed at what their children are capable of!
