Theater Artists Olympia presents “Chamber Music”

Theater Artists Olympia is proud to present Arthur Kopit’s absurdist black comedy, Chamber Music. The year is 1939 as we join the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Duly-Elected Grievance and Someday Governing Committee of Wing Five, Women’s Section; and there is much to discuss. Poor Amelia Earhart just wants to go home but has been captured and left to rot in the asylum with all the other members of the committee, who unlike Amelia (?) all suffer from delusions of grandeur believing they are famous women from across the centuries. Susan B. Anthony doesn’t want to hear it, Joan of Arc’s pants keep rusting, and Isabella of Spain just can’t figure out what to do about Columbus. While these are all compelling issues, the important topic of discussion is what to do about the threat from the men’s ward…
TAO is a collective of local artists committed to producing high quality theater. TAO’s focus is on producing materials that are thematically more provocative, and interpretations of classics more experimental than generally found in the Olympia area. Our mission is to present creative theatrical pieces that are under-represented in the community.
