Oliver! promises to be one of the mostspectacular holiday musicals to ever grace the Walnut’s stage.To be the big man on campus, you have to be able to playthe game. In the hallowed halls of The Eclectic Society,young men come together to build character, strengthenbonds and create a better future for their fraternity. There arenew recruits that need to be tested, homecoming games tobe won and traditions that must be continued. It’s the 1960s.Do these men have what it takes to make things right?

Spirits fly and laughtersoars with Noël Coward’s delectable comedy Fallen Angels!It’s time to continue the “tradition” of great American musicals as we endour spectacular 201st season with one of Broadway’s greatest musicals,Fiddler on the Roof. This award-winning musical has captured the heartsof people all over the world.
