The Cedar Falls Community Theatre presented the opening performance of "Oliver!" Friday in downtown Cedar Falls.
The opening performance of Lionel Bart's "Oliver! The Musical" brought laughter to Friday night's audience in the Oster Regent Theatre and moved them to think about difficult issues like homelessness, children without guardians and abuse. This musical drama describes the adventures of a young orphan boy named Oliver, and the characters who try to help or harm him along his way to finding a family. Moe than 200 people in the community helped to make the production possible including the directors and production team, cast, crews and musicians. "Oliver!" will show again on June 15, and 16 at 7:30 p.m. and on June 10 and 17 at 2 p.m.

The Cedar Falls Municipal Band is reportedly the oldest municipal band in the state. They entertained a crowd of music lovers in Overman Park June 5.
The Cedar Falls Municipal Band kicked off its summer concert series Tuesday with a flourish and a nod to another big event of the day - the Transit of Venus. The band played the Transit of Venus March by John Philip Sousa as the sun - and with it the rare astronomical event - set behind the Overman Park bandshell. The park was full of music enthusiasts of all ages, sitting on folding chairs and blankets on the ground. The band will continue its free outdoor concerts every Tuesday night throughout June and July. Concerts start at 7:30 p.m. at Overman Park. Have any photos from the concerts? Add them here!
