612 4th Ave E
Olympia Family Theater mainstage presents…
FULLY VAXXED
Three original one-act plays
March 18-20 and April 1-3, 2022
Recommended for all ages.
When people hold opinions different from our own, how do we communicate with them? How do we do what’s best for our family and community?
Though these plays are inspired by vaccines and pandemics; what they’re really about is: luchas and grandmothers, sasquatches and dragons, and improv and wizards!
Lucha Virus

In collaboration with Oliver Garcia, Jazel Hernandez, Ana Munoz, and Leilani

Benjamin lives with his elderly grandmother – who is obsessed with lucha libre. Benjamin can’t decide whether or not to get vaccinated. One night he falls asleep in his grandmother’s chair and watches his fears play out in an epic lucha wrestling match.
Who’s Afraid of the Rain
