About the show:

Ophelia does NOT like her new home on the beach. She does NOT like the new people she meets, and she definitely does NOT like how alone she feels. But she does like inventing! When some mysterious parts show up, Ophelia builds a friend named Olivetti. With her robot by her side and with some help from the audience, Ophelia hopes to find the courage to face the stormy ocean and her inner fears.
