Olympia Family Theater Open House

Have you heard that OFT is expanding? Here's the scoop:
Olympia Family Theater is currently running a campaign to help us open the doors on a new all-ages space, next door to the theater. We're tentatively calling it the Olympia Youth Art Alliance - it will serve as the permanent home for a few other groups as well - who will be getting access to office/workshop/residency space (including String & Shadow Puppet Theater and Capitol City Pride). PLUS it will essentially be one of Olympia's only affordable, all-ages interdisciplinary venues in downtown. We're raising 10K (20K total as we also have a 10K match to help double your money). Funds go towards flooring, soundproofing, some electrical fun, and a few other bits and bobs. 
  •  We have an open house on Monday, November 28 from 5-7pm for a tour and to learn how you can help support this effort.
