    Danny Petrelli, a 60-year-old man, wakes up one morning as his 23-year-old self. When he attempts to reconnect with his future wife and rectify mistakes he has made, he inadvertently changes (and possibly destroys) everything he values. LOST IN TIME is about the destructive power of manipulating your life. And the losses you will suffer if you don't embrace what's in front of you, in the here and now.

    Press Quotes

    “Scientists know that space-time is more fluid than we think. If only we mere mortals could harness this energy, we might be able to change a few things in our pasts that we regret. And if we desire it enough — think about it just hard enough — would it happen? That’s the premise of LOST IN TIME, the astonishing play by Tony Pasqualini. Danny is completely disoriented when he wakes up, not in his comfortable San Francisco home, but back at school with his rather dippy roommate, Robert. When he finally realizes he’s somehow transported back to his college years, he sets out to alter a few key, regrettable incidents in his life, by making different choices. Alas, nothing goes as planned. His future wife spurns him when he makes an early entrance in her life; his father dies unexpectedly, and, in a completely new development, his future sister-in-law becomes insistent that he should date her … Does Danny manage to bring his life back around after turning his future on its head? I’ll leave it to you … to see how all this gets sorted out.” —Leigh Kennicott, showmag.com

    “When the past becomes the present, can you change the future? In Tony Pasqualini’s new play, LOST IN TIME, Danny finds himself transported 40 years into his own past. In an attempt to rectify the wrongs he committed in his marriage, he tries to use this unique opportunity to make things right. However, the more he gets lost in this new life, the more the future he left behind becomes distant and irretrievable. When he wakes up 40 years in his past, Danny is understandably stunned … We are then introduced to his roommate, the slightly immature, yet instantly lovable Robert … When Danny makes the trek from Boston to Vermont to meet his not-yet wife, Gwen, he encounters Gwen’s rebellious older sister, Amy. Witnessing Gwen struggle against her inexplicable attraction to Danny (remember, in this alternate version of the past, he’s practically a stranger) is fascinating; what is particularly endearing, however, is watching the budding friendship between Robert and Amy, and the obvious crush he develops on her after she comes up to Boston for a visit. LOST IN TIME puts a wonderful twist on a classic trope. This thought-provoking text …” —Julia Stier, Stage Raw

    Play Description

    O LOVELY GLOWWORM is about the history of the world as perceived by a stuffed goat who remembers his life from his perch at the edge of a domestic trash heap behind a derelict cottage in rural Ireland, circa 1918. It’s an exploration of consciousness through a lens as myopic as Mr. Magoo’s, as slapstick as the Three Stooges, as intelligently raucous as the Marx Brothers, and as lyrical as the yearning Irish tenor of John McCormack. “It’s about how very small in the end we are — that seen in regard to the whole huge universe, we and our struggles are so endearingly pathetic it’s laughable.” —from Glen Berger’s Journal

    Play Description

    FIVE OF US deals with the parallel lives of New York tenement dwellers, who live next door to each other but whose paths do not cross until one fateful moment, which spells disaster for them all. One apartment is occupied by Mark, a young writer who churns out pornography while planning the “big novel” he will someday write, and his live-in girlfriend, Lee, an anthropology grad who works as a waitress. Their next-door neighbor is Herman, a mentally deficient messenger who speaks in a language all his own and amuses himself by calling 800 numbers to make hotel reservations he has no intention of keeping. When Lee is offered a chance to join an anthropological expedition to Sri Lanka, Mark is faced with a crisis — the loss of both her companionship and her income. With the connivance of his ex-con buddy, Eddie, a street-smart would-be mercenary, Mark decides to prop up his finances by robbing Herman's apartment, in the misguided belief that the poor eccentric has been hoarding money. But, instead, what they find is the bizarre detritus of a stunted life — a life which is abruptly ended when Herman, coming upon them, is startled into a fatal epileptic fit. Fearful and guilt-ridden, Mark and Eddie try to cover their tracks — but as the play ends it is also clear that no matter how far or fast they flee they will never escape the spectre of the lonely misfit whose pathetic world they have so thoughtlessly and fatally shattered.
