Oliver! is one of the most beloved British musicals of all time, bringing to life Charles Dickens’ wonderful characters with its timeless story of a young orphan boy’s journey from rags to riches.

Now in its fifth year, Sunderland Empire Stage Experience is a two week, not-for-profit theatre summer school for 9 to 25 year olds, which aims to give young people in the North East the opportunity to perform or be part of the technical team in a professionally produced musical. Successful participants work alongside a professional director, musical director, choreographer and backstage crew to train in singing, dancing, acting and technical theatre, before performing on the main stage for performances of Oliver!

Don’t miss the opportunity to have a sneak preview of the show!
