"Audiences will follow young orphan Oliver as he navigates Victorian London, meeting a cast of colourful characters along the way – from the cheeky Artful Dodger to the menacing Bill Sikes and the kind-hearted Nancy.

“The talented cast is made up of pupils from across the school, both on stage and behind the scenes. While performers bring the story to life, other students have been hard at work designing and building sets, crafting props, and managing the technical aspects of the show.

"This production is a true team effort and a testament to the creativity and commitment of Grangemouth’s young people. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to support local talent and enjoy a classic musical full of heart, humour and unforgettable songs.”
