Five Honorable Mention Plays of 2016
"At Last Theatre presents this world premiere in a tight, tense ninety minutes with a cast that embodies with great skills the play’s
harsh contrasts – both shining and shadowy -- of what it means to be family and community." Eddie Reynolds
Present Tense
A full-length drama, with running time of 85 minutes. Cast: 3 men and 3 women (2015)
Present Tense is a play of five unrelated vignettes, tied together thematically. It is a drama, a theatrical poem about Middle America. It’s about our dilemmas, failed expectations, difficult choices, and unwillingness to live in the present.
Premiered with At Last Productions and The Playwright Center of San Francisco
at ACT Costume Shop, San Francisco, March 2015. Rik Lopes, director.
"Each takes place real-time for fifteen or so minutes, with the ‘present tense’ of each highly shadowed by histories of turbulent
relationships and events and foreshadowed by uncertain futures. In each, the tension is high, made so by revelations and
remembrances and by fears of what may or may not happen next." Eddie Reynolds
