In Oakley’s ornate and oft-remodeled opera house, the Oakley Valley Arts Council’s two-week run of “Oliver” is just beginning. It takes a cast of 31 kids and 23 adults to tell the classical Dickens tale of London orphan Oliver Twist. Before the show starts at Howells Opera House, look up from your seat to see the original pressed-tin ceiling, now illuminated by six elaborate chandeliers. The structure has been updated with high-tech, programmable lighting and wireless microphones, but the sense of history remains. It’s a great setting for Dickens’ story. See the Events Calendar inside this section for times and ticket details. — Virginia Hutchins
