Aspiring actors in Sedgley are being urged to tread the boards for an exciting new production of the classic musical, Oliver, which will take place at Dormston Mill Theatre next February.

The event will be the first production from Phoenix Theatre, a  new Wolverhampton-based company that aims to produce high quality musical theatre productions.

Choreographer and spokesperson, Lindsey Grant, says: “Phoenix Theatre is run by families for families and we intend to create a local community that encourages all kinds of talent. Having been formed by a like-minded group of people, Phoenix Theatre displays a wealth of theatrical expertise both onstage and behind the scenes. And, organisers hope that the invaluable experience and knowledge showcased by the group’s founders will ensure Phoenix ‘rises to new heights’ of popular entertainment.”
