Adapted by Morgan Gould from 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.

Mask Policy
OFT’s Commitment to Health and Safety in Our Theater
OFT is dedicated to creating a safe environment for our audiences and staff as we welcome you to our theater. Currently, we are moving forward with the following COVID-19 protocols:
(1) Masks are strongly encouraged, but not required for classes or shows on Fridays and Saturdays. However, we will require masks at the first Sunday matinee for each show to ensure greater accessibility for more people.
(2) We are not currently requiring proof of vaccination.
(3) We ask that you please stay home if you are feeling unwell. We are happy to offer to reschedule your tickets – for free – if you are feeling unwell. Together, we can keep everyone safe.
**Please note: We are continuing to closely monitor COVID case counts, new variants, and community health guidelines. We reserve the right to change our current policies at any time for the health and safety of our community. We appreciate your patience as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times.**
More details about our in-person camp health and safety policy.
We are monitoring the guidance of the Thurston County Department of Public Health and Social Services, the Washington State Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and we ask that you do the same. As new information comes in from them, we will be updating the impact to our programs and productions.
Finally, we know that the choice to be vaccinated is complicated and multifaceted. We encourage everyone to demonstrate compassion and actively help to combat incidents of bias or social stigma.
Inclement Weather Policy​
Generally power does not go out in downtown Olympia. If our actors and technicians can make it to the theater, we’re doing the show. If things get really bad and we simply can’t stage the performance, we will notify ticket holders as soon as we possibly can and do everything possible to transfer tickets to a later date. If there are no tickets left for that particular production, ticket holders will receive vouchers for tickets to any other Olympia Family Theater production.
