Troupe mulls ‘Rose’s Dilemma’
SEQUIM –– Neil Simon’s “Rose’s Dilemma” will open Olympic Theatre Arts’ 2014-2015 season.
Under the direction of Karen Hogan, cast members Sharon DelaBarre, Tom Darter, Jennifer Sies and Dalton Williamson will whip through three weekends of performance from Sept. 5 through Sept. 21 in the theater at 414 N. Sequim Ave.
“’Rose’s Dilemma’ has the quick humor and snappy banter Simon is known for,” Hogan said. “Think ‘The Ghost and Mrs. Muir’ meets Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett.”
Tickets are $16 or $14 for OTA members and military personnel. Children 16 and younger are $10.
A special $10 preview show will be Sept. 4.
