Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart's classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist. Watch the streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

Cherokee Community Theater is a small, all volunteer local theater doing big things in rural northwest Iowa since 1959! Our typical season consists of a fall show and a spring show, capped off with a summer musical in June. A live pit orchestra is the standard for our musical productions. We also support a vibrant children's theater program that introduces youth to the wonders of theater through a summer theater camp and major children's theater productions. We have engaged the world renown Flying by Foy out of Las Vegas to execute flying effects for a number of shows over the years, and have enhanced our technology resources with projection capabilities and LED lighting effects. We have been producing quality, home-grown theater for over six decades. Come and join us for the magic!
