The musical “Oliver!” will hit the
boards later this week as the first Wake
Forest production by The Road Less
Traveled Theatre.
Performances are planned for
Thursday through Saturday, May 18
through 20, and again Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, May 26 through 28. The only
matinee will be on Sunday, May 29, at
2:30 p.m.; all other performances will
begin at 8 p.m.
The location will be the
auditorium at Franklin Academy on Chalk
Road.
“Starting off with a
family-oriented musical gives us a
chance to reach the widest possible
audience this first time out, allowing
us to reach as many people as we can to
introduce ourselves to the community but
also to show our cast members and our
audiences how we do things,” Executive
Director Kevin Holmes said.
Advance tickets are $10 for
adults, $8 for students and seniors;
they will be $12 for adults at the door.
You can buy them from cast members and
some area businesses or online at

The free concerts are

bring a chair or blanket along with a
picnic lunch or some drinks and snacks
and enjoy the music along with your
