TOLKIEN: Feb. 28-Mar. 30

Legends in wait, the worlds of Narnia and Middle Earth may never have come to be were it not for an unlikely friendship between J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. TOLKIEN by Ron Reed tells the stirring story of the transformative friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, spanning decades. The show features an ensemble cast of characters, followed from 1926 through 1963, amidst global tumult and personal trials. Tolkien and Lewis pushed each others’ imaginations, faith, and curiosity, growing together – and eventually growing apart.

TOLKIEN was given its professional premiere at the Pacific Theatre in Vancouver, Canada. Our production this season will be the U.S. Premiere.

Joan of Arc Postponed, Replaced with Lolek this Spring

The development of a new play is no small task, especially given the high standards of artistic excellence we hold ourselves to at Open Window Theatre. A tremendous amount of work goes into the creative process of developing a new script and producing it for the first time. Joan of Arc is the biggest and most ambitious original play we’ve ever developed at OWT, and despite our best efforts, the show simply won’t be ready for production yet this spring without having to compromise our standards. We want to make sure we do this story justice, so we’re postponing the world premiere of Jeremy Stanbary’s Joan of Arc to next spring.

In place of Joan of Arc this season, we’re bringing back Artistic Director Jeremy Stanbary’s landmark original drama, LOLEK, to be performed over the same dates April 25 – May 25.

ABOUT “LOLEK”

Out of the depths of one of the darkest times in human history rose a spiritual leader whose radiant faith, born of tragedy, would change the course of history. LOLEK brings to life the captivating story of Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II) and his heroic resistance to the Nazi Occupation of Poland as a young man during the Second World War. Risking his life to engage in cultural, intellectual, and spiritual resistance, Karol Wojtyla would emerge as a Witness to Hope for millions, playing a pivotal role in the downfall of the Iron Curtain and the end of the Cold War.

TICKET HOLDER OPTIONS

If you already have tickets to Joan of Arc, your tickets will automatically convert over to the same performance date for LOLEK. If for some reason you don’t wish to see LOLEK (although we really think you should!) and only want to see Joan of Arc, you can transfer your tickets to our rescheduled production next season at no additional cost, or cancel and receive a full ticket refund for your ticket purchase.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to still producing Joan of Arc next season and we’re excited to bring back our highly acclaimed production of LOLEK.

Thank you for your understanding!
