Oliver!
A true classic of musical theatre, Oliver! has captivated audiences for generations with its timeless story and unforgettable songs like “Consider Yourself” and “Food, Glorious Food.” Based on Charles Dickens’ beloved novel, this heartwarming tale of a young orphan’s search for family and belonging has earned its place as one of the most prestigious titles in the musical theatre canon. With rich characters, memorable music, and universal themes of hope and resilience, this is a must-see for audiences of all ages.
Giving Back Through Oliver!
Oliver! is a story rooted in hunger and hardship, especially for children. In that spirit, QMT is hosting a “Food Glorious Food Drive” to support the First Presbyterian Church Food Bank.
