A WRINKLE IN TIME
October 9 - 26, 2025
Adapted by Morgan Gould
Based on the novel by Madeleine L’Engle
One of literature’s most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, is back — braces, stubbornness and all. Once again, she’s joining forces with Mrs Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O’Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself. In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract. This faithful, ensemble-driven adaptation of the beloved novel masterfully retells the story in a fresh and enduring way.

THE HOBBIT
May 14 - June 7, 2026
Adapted by Greg Banks
Based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien
With music by Thomas Johnson
Our unlikely hero, Bilbo Baggins, would much rather be sitting in his cozy Hobbit Hole with a cup of tea and a plate of bacon and eggs. However, he somehow finds himself on a magically mystical adventure. Staged with speed and surprises, you’ll be delighted as things change before your very eyes. Discover what happens as Bilbo travels on an epic journey over freezing mountains and a frightening forest, meeting all sorts of fierce creatures—some who want to eat him, others who turn into dear friends. Olympia Family Theater is honored to be the first community theater in the world granted permission to produce The Hobbit, a beloved tale that, until now, has only been licensed to professional theaters!
