SEQUIM — Olympic Theatre Arts has announced its 2015–2016 season of plays and musicals and opened up subscription sales, with four kinds of ticket packages available.
These range in price from $25 to $99, while the outlets are OlympicTheatreArts.org and the theater itself, 414 N. Sequim Ave.
The season lineup goes like this:
■ “The Real Inspector Hound” and “Fifteen-Minute Hamlet,” two one-act comedies by Tom Stoppard, take the main Olympic Theatre Arts stage Sept. 4-20.
“Hound” is a case of mistaken identities when two critics are assigned to a murder-mystery play, and “Hamlet” is the Shakespearean tragedy sped up.
■ “The Man Who Came to Dinner” by George Kaufman and Moss Hart is the story of arrogant radio personality Sheridan Whiteside.
When he injures himself slipping on ice, he becomes an unexpected guest of a prominent area family and, with his stream of bizarre friends and visitors, turns the household upside down.
Things get trickier when Whiteside’s loyal assistant gets romantic with a local reporter.
Olivia Shea directs this main-stage show Oct. 20-Nov. 15.
■ The annual Holiday Revue comes to Olympic Theatre Arts as a second-stage production Dec. 11-13.
■ Shakespearean “Twelfth Night” revelry arrives in the Gathering Hall — turned into an Elizabethan Hall for this second-stage show — Jan. 9-10.
■ “I Do! I Do!” by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt is the award-winning Broadway play about the ups and downs of marriage.
Charlotte Carroll directs the show on the main stage Feb. 3-21.
■ “Squabbles” by Marshall Karp pits a succession of characters against one another in a series of comedic turns: Jerry the writer, his wife the successful lawyer, the live-in father-in-law and then Jerry’s mother, who needs a place to stay.
Larry Harwood brings it all to the main stage April 8-24.
■ “Tom Foolery” by Tom Lehrer is the vintage musical revue poking fun at all manner of 1950s and ’60s dilemmas: the A-bomb, racism, pollution, pornography — and math, since Lehrer is a Harvard-educated mathematician.
Directed by Anna Andersen, this second-stage production will run May 13-22.
■ “Scapino!” by Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale is about Scapino the deceitful valet, a man who contrives to bring his master’s children and their respective loves together — despite the boss’ differing plans.
Pat Owens directs this show on the main stage July 8-24.
