Four of our Yorkies, Kathleen (Gr. 8), Vanessa (Gr. 9) , Laura (Gr.9) and Anna (Gr. 6) are performing this week in the musical “Oliver!”.

These girls are part of a local community musical theatre company for children in Grade 4 through 9, Encore Musical Theatre.  These dedicated young people rehearse every week from September through June in order to put on their full-length musical theatre production in June.

This year’s show promises to be entertaining, with a wonderful set and colourful period costumes. Familiar tunes such as “Food Glorious Food” and “Where is Love?” are what make “Oliver!” a favorite of adults and children alike.

If you would like to see the show, it plays this week, Thursday June 7 @ 7pm, Friday June 8 @ 7pm, and Saturday June 9 @ 2pm and 7pm at the Norman Rothstein Theatre at 41st and Oak.

More information about showtimes and tickets can be found at www.encoremusicaltheatre.org.
