PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Musical Theater is presenting “Oliver!” today through Sunday at the Byham Theater, 101 Sixth St.

And Butler County actors are starring all over the musical drama.

Brecken Farrell of Saxonburg will portray the Artful Dodger. Jessica Ortiz of Penn Township will bring life to the role of Nancy, and Brady Patsy of East Brady will play Mr. Sowerberry.

“Oliver!” takes audiences on an adventure through Victorian England with the timeless character of the boy who said of his gruel, “Please sir, I want some more.”

This is a presentation by the students of the Richard E. Rauh Conservatory, backed by the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts school orchestra and supported by the professional artists of PMT.

Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. today through Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
