HELVETICA, a play about stories

by Katie Coleman

Ophelia's Jump is proud to present Helvetica by Katie Coleman and directed by Elina de Santos presented February 26 through March 18, 2025.

"A beautiful play about the stories we tell as well as leave behind (Woodstock Arts)". Helvetica "is a play about big things, like imagination, memory, and death, with a heroine named for a type font, a cardboard boat in which to go adventuring, and a stuffed bear to act as narrator and muse (D. Baker)".

About Helvetica
