What does grit look like … courage, bravery, strength of character? We’re paying tribute to Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist in conjunction with the Parish Players production of OLIVER! Dickens sets the innocence of childhood against the squalor and corruption of the city. He showed us what grit meant to him in his novel.

This show will be hosted in the lower gallery at the Dedham Community Theatre! 580 High Street, Dedham, MA.

This show is being produced in conjunction with the Parish Players’ newest production, Oliver!

The Parish Players is an amateur theater group consisting mostly of First Church members and friends. It started over ten years ago when one of the R.E. teachers, a drama teacher by profession, led her class in a production of “Sadako and the Thousand Cranes.” Many parents supported the production and found that they enjoyed working with one another and the kids in such a group effort. Two of those parents wanted to see this intergenerational fun continue so they created the Parish Players as an adjunct R.E. program.
