Walton Performing Arts Academy

So, you’ve heard of Oliver… But have you heard of OLIVIA?!

WPAA are proud to announce Youth Theatre’s Site-Specific, Musical Production, ‘OLIVIA!’ coming to St Mary’s Church, Acton this December. 🎭

‘OLIVIA!’ is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens classic novel, Oliver Twist, directed & choreographed by Principal, Adlyn Walton. This production will showcase female
talent by switching up the stereotypical gender roles within traditional musical theatre.

The traditionally male-heavy cast will be lead by a female main character to raise awareness around sexism within our society. Women and girls in the theatre and film industry are all too often type-cast as the same, old “damsel in distress” or “unlucky in love” characters… Well not this time! Adlyn has put the “twist” into Oliver Twist by changing the genders of the well-known characters as well as introducing she, he and
they pronouns.

The site-specific production will take place in the main Church at St Mary’s. The beautiful, historic building will take the audience back in time to Georgian, London as the cast
dance up the isles and fill the space with song through the natural acoustics.

Ladies, it’s time to take ownership of the stage! Boys, be prepared to support our leading lady, Olivia!

Auditions will be held in early September. This will be a whole academy production, therefore KS2 and KS3 classes will be merged into one class, held on Tuesday evenings from 5-7pm at St Mary’s Church.

To join the cast of this unique production, please email [email protected] or visit our website at www.wpaa.co.uk to sign up. Link in bio 👆🏽
