Today is Carolyn’s day off from Oliver Twist… the show’s final week starts tomorrow, and ends with two shows on Saturday Dec 19.

Now, the iconic story of Oliver Twist makes its U.S. premiere in a production with local ties and significance for one Pittsburgh-based theater company. If you have yet to catch PICT Classic Theatre‘s Oliver Twist—which opened on December 3rd—you have six more chances to experience this timeless tale of redemption, charity and survival. Set against the backdrop of gritty, bleak Victorian London, the play revolves around young Oliver Twist, an orphan who gets caught up in a dangerous world of criminals, pickpockets and prostitutes. —NEXTpittsburgh
