ARE YOU OLIVER? EXETER LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY LAUNCHES IT’S SEARCH.

In 2009, we found Annie. Now, Exeter Little Theatre Company is looking for budding young actors to play the role of Oliver in Lionel Bart’s much loved musical, set to take to the stage at the Exeter Barnfield Theatre this September.

Oliver, the musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ famous novel, tells the tale of Oliver Twist – a story of pathos and drama, which delights everyone with its outstanding musical numbers. Food, Glorious Food, I'd Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, Who Will Buy and Reviewing the Situation all musical theatre classics and Dickens' characters are brought to life with all their facets glowing in this production.

As the Open Auditions proved such a success for our production of Annie, we felt that we had no choice but to open our doors to the wealth of young acting talent that is out there. Any child who is successful in their audition will undoubtedly gain a wealth of experience working with professional Director - Joe McNulty, Choreographer - Sarah Carter and Musical Director - Simon Carter, as well as playing alongside an extremely talented adult cast.

Exeter Little Theatre Company, an established drama group in Exeter, is well known for producing a diverse programme of plays, musicals and pantomimes for over 50 years. The company is always looking for new members to continue bringing the best of theatre to the city, and they hope this search will help to encourage the finest of Exeter’s young talent through our doors.

Open Auditions for the roles of Oliver, The Artful Dodger, and a team of workhouse children will take place on Sunday 8th May at the Exeter Barnfield Theatre, from 10.30 am. For more information, and to register your child’s attendance please visit www.eltc.org.uk.
