Past NSP Youth Group Productions
"Olivia Twist" (Oct. 2007)
Rehearsal video with interviews with director and stage manager (streaming video)
A fun musical with a whimsical blend of "Oliver Twist", "Annie" "Picture of Dorian Gray", "Sweeney Todd" and "Hansel and Gretel". In it our heroine is a runaway found by the benevolent-seeming Ms. Doriana Fagan. She offers Olivia a home in her "Happy Harmony Home" which is a place for female runaways and orphans. An idyllic setting for rebellious girls who want no restrictions on them! But every year, some girl suddenly "decides she wants to go back to her home"\and disappears without a word to the other girls. During the show, you will see what has been happening and how it is uncovered and stopped. The story ends with one of the funniest "twists" in the history of show business!

NSP's "The Universe and Other Stuff" set backdrop depicts the "Big Bang" and many of the
elements of the solar system; planets, comets, asteroids, the moon, etc. Also we see the story of
the evolution of life on Earth up to man learning to use tools, and the invention of the wheel.
