OTA’s New Works Showcase runs for one weekend

SEQUIM — Set to stage for a limited run — one weekend only — Olympic Theatre Arts Center’s inaugural New Works Showcase features six short plays by local authors writing on the theme of “resilience.”

Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the OTA main stage, 414 N. Sequim Ave.

Tickets can be found at the box office from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today or online at OlympicTheatreArts.org.

A team of both established and new directors to OTA are working with a cast of local actors, also ranging from veterans to beginners, to bring the stories to the stage for the first time in a showcase that, this year, is dedicated to the late Jim Guthrie, a longtime OTA actor and director.

Never-seen-before plays by Guthrie, Suzanne Bailie, Aurora Lagattuta, Gabriel Mills and Sarah Brabant, Susan Noyes, and John Painter take the stage with genres including “adorable comedy, touching drama and mellow musical undertones,” organizers say.

For further information, call the theatre at 360-683-7326.
