Olympic Peninsula Panto:
It's Not About the Hood - Bernie's Tale
(Gathering Hall)
The Panto returns to OTA for its second season bringing with it laughs, fractured fairytales, audience interaction, and nonsensical fun. This year’s story focuses on a smashup of Little Red Riding Hood with Hansel and Gretel as Bernie Riding-Hood, enters the foreboding forest to find her lost hood and estranged grandmother, only to be encountered by overly aged siblings roaming the woods hungry for treats. Hilarity ensues as a gang of self-righteous squirrels, and an enterprising wolf, enter the picture wreaking havoc on all. None of it really makes sense, but the time had by all will be brilliant.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf- Comedy
(Main Stage)
George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.
