WINNER OF THE 2025 MIKE SOCKOL NEW WORKS SERIES
(COMPETITION FOR A FULL PRODUCTION RUN)
In this gay epic spanning 160 years, ON TIME follows five couples, weaving together moments of love, heartbreak, and survival across centuries. Through a series of intimate encounters—some fleeting, some life-altering—the play explores how time bends, repeats, and reshapes the course of human lives. From the clandestine desires of two coworkers in Victorian England to the modern-day uncertainty of fiancés on the brink of matrimony in the American South, love, loss and fate intertwine in this sweeping, intimate exploration of human connection while illuminating the barriers history has long placed on queer love.
