Through Dec. 19

‘Oliver Twist’

PICT Classic Theatre will present “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens, through Dec. 19.

After a total staff lay-off, the cancellation of a production and a series of very real discussions about whether PICT should close its doors forever, PICT Classic Theatre is pleased to announce its return to the Pittsburgh theatre scene, moving forward with its final production of 2015, also the organization’s final performance in the Stephen Foster Memorial on the University of Pittsburgh Campus.

“It’s very ironic to do ‘Oliver Twist’ after a year in which I have had to seek additional funds from our donors and sponsors,” jokes PICT’s artistic and executive director, Alan Stanford. “It really gives me so much respect for the little boy with the bowl saying ‘please, sir, I want some more’. Though it seems PICT’s donors were far more generous to PICT than Mr. Bumble was to Oliver at the workhouse.”
