Show times are at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays at the theater at 41 N. Sequim Ave. Cost is $20 per ticket or $15 for students. Tickets are available at olympictheatrearts.org.

The two-act, seven-character play revolves around Willum Cubbert, an aspiring architect in Terre Haute, Ind., who is visited by a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick Steadman shows up unexpectedly at his apartment, but Steadman’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles.

• “Nifty Fifties” will be performed by the Olympic Peninsula Academy drama class tonight and Saturday.

The musical comedy hits the stage for three performances (7 p.m. tonight and 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday) at the Sequim High School auditorium, 533 N. Sequim Ave.

The play is free although the school asks for a suggested $5 donation to help fund future drama productions.

• Buzz Rogowski will perform from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight at the Old Alcohol Plant Inn, 310 Hadlock Bay Road, Port Hadlock. No cover charge.
