CAMDEN — “Oliver!” will be hitting the Camden High School auditorium stage for free shows at 7 p.m. Friday, March 1 and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 2.

The musical — based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens — follows the journey of an orphaned boy named Oliver Twist. After escaping from a workhouse and meeting a group of juvenile criminals led by the cunning Fagin, Oliver becomes entangled in a world of theft and mischief. However, his inherent goodness and innocence make Oliver an unlikely protagonist in this dark setting.
