We are a professional, non-profit theater company offering a year-round season of classics, musicals, and new works as well as training, outreach and touring opportunities. Founded in 1991, Harlequin owns the State Theater in downtown Olympia where it serves the South Sound region with its resident theater productions. Harlequin is dedicated to high quality theater productions that excite, challenge and enrich theater artists and audiences alike. Through the immediacy of theatrical events, we explore and strive to illuminate the human condition common to all.
In 1991, a group of five people--James L. This, Scot Whitney, Linda Whitney, Phil Annis and Ronna Smith-- founded the non-profit theater company. Their goal was to produce a more challenging style of theater than was available locally. Together, they totalled three directors, one actor, one set designer, one technical wizard, and one business manager. They wrote their mission statement, pooled their startup capital--a whopping $400 cash--and began producing individual shows at the Washington Center Stage II, a "black box" venue that seated about 100.

Upcoming Play:
Rabbit Hole
by David Lindsay-Abaire
March 11 - April 3, 2010
2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.
“With works like Fuddy Meers and Kimberly Akimbo, Mr. Lindsay-Abaire established himself as a lyrical and understanding chronicler of people who somehow become displaced within their own lives. Like his peer in poetic empathy, Craig Lucas, Mr. Lindsay-Abaire has shown a special affinity for female characters suddenly forced to re-evaluate the roles by which they define themselves.”
