OTA invites conversation at ‘Talk Back Night’

Got something to say to your local acting troupe, the director or the stage hands? Now you can.

Olympic Theatre Arts is starting what members hope is a new tradition “Talk Back Night” with the Feb. 22 performance of “Time Stands Still.”

The play gets under way at 6:30 p.m. — an hour earlier than other performances — and ends with an evening of drinks (available at the bar) and conversation with the cast and crew of the play between 8:30-9 p.m. in the Gathering Hall.

Attendees can ask director Josh Sutcliffe about his vision for the play, to actress Jennifer Horton about how she feels on the stage playing the wartime photojournalist Sarah, or actor Ron Graham about how he might have channelled himself into his character of Richard, Sarah’s old flame.

Carol Willis, OTA executive director and set designer, will be on hand to share insight into the production’s journey as well as into OTA’s perspective overall.

Olympic Theatre Arts is at 414 N. Sequim Ave.
