Witch

Port Angeles Community Playhouse | September 25-October 11, 2026

A charming devil arrives in a small town with an irresistible offer: he’ll grant people’s deepest desires in exchange for their souls.  Elizabeth Sawyer has already been branded a witch and cast out by her community—making her the town’s most unlikely holdout. As temptation spreads, alliances shift, secrets emerge, and the entire town begins to unravel. Witch is a sharp, darkly comic tale of desire, prejudice, and the choices people make when they’re offered exactly what they’ve been missing.

Paste & Paper Opening Reception

Port Angeles Fine Arts Center | September 25, 2026 | 5:00PM-7:00PM

Join us for the opening reception of Paper and Paste is an exhibition about transformation—how something as simple as a sheet of paper can become a world of its own. Here, artists fold, cut, layer, and glue to push paper beyond its familiar boundaries. Sheets transform into sculptural forms; cutouts open into delicate windows of light and space. Every surface holds the possibility of a new form. In these works, paper becomes both structure and story, both surface and substance. Paper and Paste invites you to discover how the simplest of materials can be reshaped into imaginative new stories.
