Among the many singers at Olympic Theatre Arts this weekend are the men of No Batteries Required

WEEKEND: Sequim hearts full of song for OTA performances tonight, Saturday

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Dec. 11.

SEQUIM — Melodies, harmonies and good cheer will share the stage as the annual Holiday Music Revue, with singers of all kinds, arrives at Olympic Theatre Arts, aka OTA at 414 N. Sequim Ave., all weekend.

In performances at 7:30 tonight and Saturday night and at 2 p.m. Sunday, the entertainment will feature an ensemble of eight carolers as well as soloist Kate Lily, the Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus and the well-known barbershop quartet No Batteries Required.

These merry gentlemen and -women, led by director Cathy Marshall, plan to fill the place with Christmas spirit.

Lily, who has piano man Steve Humphrey as her accompanist, will sing four holiday songs.

When pressed, she let on she’d be performing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” while the other three will be surprises.

Lily is known for the fine and mellow, so her set will be a complement to the gusto from the men’s chorus and the carolers.

“OTA will take theatergoers to a time past with carolers strolling city streets, and men and women of good cheer eager to share with one another the excitement of the coming holidays,” said revue production manager Connie Jenkins.

“Come sit back,” she added, “enjoy the fun, the moments that will touch you, and the glorious music that so defines the mood and joy of the holiday season.”

Tickets are $10 at the OTA box office, open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 360-683-7326.

If still available, tickets will be sold at the door too, while information about the community theater can be found at olympictheatrearts.org.
