Backstage at WICA : Oliver!

One of Fagan's gang, I think

I had the privilege of sketching backstage during the pickup rehearsal of Oliver! at WICA last night. There are dozens of children in the cast - all moving from activity to activity in the green room while they waited for their next entrance on stage. Hard to capture a moving target, as you might guess.

These three brothers settled down together on a bean bag to read a book.

Oliver! runs through this Saturday.
