PORT ANGELES — “The Secret History of Nikola Tesla” continues today at the Little Theater at Peninsula College.
The show time for the public is 7 p.m. at the theater at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd. Admission is by donation.
For schoolchildren, including home-schooled students, a matinee is set for 12:30 p.m. today. Opening night was Thursday.
Also tonight, preceding “Secret History,” Five Acre’s kindergartners and first-graders will present a playlet titled “Tacky the Penguin.” In it, Tacky is an odd bird in the penguin world. The story is about how having an odd friend around can be a good thing.
Written by Seattle playwright Jennifer Dice, “Secret History” is the story of Tesla, (1856-1943), the Serbian-American who invented alternating current power and other everyday wireless things.
The students of Five Acre School in Dungeness are staging the production, a fictionalized tale featuring Tesla’s contemporaries Thomas Edison, Mary Astor, Susan B. Anthony, George Westinghouse, Marie Curie and Andrew Carnegie.
