It's "Oliver" Time in Redlands

July 26, 2012
Each summer, the Redlands Bowl presents a musical as one of the programs in the Community Music Associations concerts. The production of the musical involves many community members as well as many participants from other communities in Southern Califiornia. Thursday evening was once the evening of the dress rehearsal, but it now has become the opening performance. This evening, Friday evening and Saturday evening at 8:15p.m., attendees will be treated to the musical "Oliver" based on the Charles Dickens' story of Oliver Twist. This musical was chosen to celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens.
The Redlands Bowl is a unique venue as there is no admission charge. However, as the Community Music Association members are quick to point out, these concerts are not "free". They cost money to present. Fortunately there are many supporters who donate and the Bowl Associates who hold an annual fundraiser. Those who attend are also asked to contribute when the red plastic bowls are passed during intermission. Hopefully all attendees will so enjoy the presentation that they will give generously.
Bring your family, pack a picnic and enjoy a wonderful summer evening of music and dance.
