Crew

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Time Flies·Dega C’est Moi·Lives of the Saints·The Green Hill These four plays by David Ives remind me of the quickness of life and how much beauty there is in the people around us. Join us for one or all four: a tale of the short life of two mayflies, a person being Edgar Degas, the story of two women dedicated to serving others, and the globe-trotting journey of a man to find his passion. I hope that this collection of plays reminds you that we should value where we are at right now. We may have less time than we first thought with our loved ones or we may long for something we don’t have, only to miss the beautiful ones we do have around. Missing out on where you are right now for either reason would be regrettable. Look around you and see the quickness of time and the people you share life with, and I hope you will see that you are right where you are supposed to be.
