Oliver!
Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is pleased to present Oliver! by Lionel Bart in August at West Seattle High School. A beloved musical, Oliver! tells Charles Dickens' story of the little orphan boy who would not be overlooked. The colorful characters he meets on his journey teach him about life and love as he struggles to make it on the streets. A few of the memorable songs include "Food Glorious Food," "Consider Yourself," "You've Got to Pick a Pocket, or Two," and "As Long As He Needs Me." This year's cast and crew of more than 80 people includes children and adults from all over the Seattle area.
In keeping with TNP's tradition of giving, this year's beneficiary is Treehouse, and a portion of the proceeds from Oliver! will benefit this remarkable organization. Treehouse has been around since 1988 and helps fill the gaps for kids in foster care by providing services overlooked by other agencies. Among other services, they provide money for extra-curricular activities and summer camps, professional educational support services, and clothing and supplies to help kids fit in at school. In addition to donating proceeds from Oliver!, TNP will also help facilitate a back-to-school drive for Treehouse, collecting school supplies, backpacks and new or gently used clothing items for kids in foster care.
