Olympic Theatre Arts, Sequim, has announced the cast for its summer Main Stage offering, “Scapino!” This riotous farce is a delightfully modern twist of the Molière classic comedy.

The title role Scapino is the trickster valet and will be played by Danny Willis. Those who are being duped include Mark Valentine as Argante and Mike Carpenter as Geronte, two fathers who have betrothed their sons to arranged marriages. The sons, played by Brohm Dason as Ottavio and Mike Roggenbuck as Leandro, are instigating the antics because in their fathers’ absences they have chosen their own betrothed: Giacinta played by Kaylee Ditlefsen and Zerbinetta by Sheenieka Dolan. All the while it appears there is little that the chaperone Sylvestro, played by Sean Clark, or the Nurse played by Kath Beecher, can do to prevent the sly Scapino from having his way.

The play takes place in an Italian quay one bright, sunny and colorful day outside a café where the waitress, played by Rebecca Horst, rules the roost and also somehow manages her staff of comical, singing waiters who include Luke Silliman, Mikaele Baker and Emily Carol as well as the ever-present local bum, Carlo, played by Michael Fellows.

Director Pat Owens promises this will be a fun-filled evening of comic theater. Opening night is July 8. Preview night is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 7, and Pay-What-You-Will is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 14. The production runs through July 24, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m.

General admission is $16 for adults and $10 for children 16 and under.
