Tish Reilly has a very special friend – Time. Tish can go back to any place where a good memory remains and enter it, reliving the moments that comfort her. When she reunites with the oft-remembered Larry, her first love, she finds a reason to finally begin to push forward in her life again. But will Time, who has grown so fond of her, be willing to let her go?

THE LONG NOW is written and directed by Beth Burns (The Groundlings Theatre Los Angeles, NEA award-winning playwright.) The play features original music from Grammy-nominated composer/musician Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory, G.Z.R., Ministry) and local songwriter/actor T. Lynn Mikeska. Renowned puppeteer Jesse Kingsley (Walt Disney Company, Mystery Bird Puppet Show) has designed shadowed backdrops and ingenious shadow puppets to represent the character "Time."
Connor Hopkins (Trouble Puppet Theatre Company) has worked closely with Kingsley to design the innovative set that allows humans and puppets to work together, traveling to multiple places and times in an instant. Buzz Moran's haunting sound design and Stephen Pruitt's clever lighting beautifully compliment the piece. THE LONG NOW stars Shannon Grounds, T. Lynn Mikeska, Mason Stewart, Anne Hulsman, D.H. Thompson, and Suzanne Balling. This story considers the turbulent nature of time, and the impossible hope of capturing a perfect present.
Shrewd Productions is proud to present this world premiere, opening at the Blue Theatre on May 21st and running Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00pm, through June 13th.
