Andover College's performing arts department showcased their talents with a summer performance of Oliver the musical.

The performances took place in the college’s 1803 Theatre from May 24 until May 26.

The Andover campus production of Lionel Barts classic, Oliver! was an event for all those at the college to look forward to. With summer just around the corner, it was a chance for audiences to unwind, enjoy and support those taking part in the showcase.

Students from the college had been rehearsing intensively for the performance, which brings many of the college’s departments together to work on the show.

The performing arts, music and dance students worked together on various parts of the performance and stage management students oversaw control of the set design, lighting and sound for each of the shows. The collaborative effort resulted in a fantastic production which Andover College is proudly celebrating.

"As someone who has a professional performing background and still currently works within the production industry, I have been able to combine my love of both aspects of the industry and pull them together with the support of the students and fellow staff.

"Over the years, stemming from my time as a student, starting in Performing Arts, the courses and level of productions have grown into what you see today, and we are always trying to push what we can do in our very own 1803 Theatre."
