Time Stands Still

Opening on October 10th, The Mendocino Theatre Company is proud to present Time Stands Still, an engaging and thought-provoking new play by Donald Margulies, under the subtle direction of Betty Abramson. From the writer of Collected Stories comes a touching and realistic story, delicately reflective of the tumultuous times in which we live. Sarah Goodwin, an acclaimed photojournalist, returns from a war zone with scars both physical and emotional. As she struggles to retain a challenging life of thrilling adventure and hard work, she finds herself presented with the choice of a more comfortable, conventional life with her loving partner James. For those who understand what it means to bring their work home, Time Stands Still is a deeply explorative human story about finding oneself at a crossroads, new beginnings, and the differences that give each of our lives color. Time Stands Still features four of the Mendocino Coast’s most accomplished performers. Beth Richmond plays Photojournalist Sarah Goodwin with both a dry wit and great emotional sensitivity. Ms. Richmond is matched in depth and skill by sophisticated actor Joe Preuss as her patient and conflicted partner James Dodd. Completing the ensemble are Carter Sears as their pragmatic long-time friend Richard Ehlrich, suddenly in love with Mandy Bloom, his much younger and clumsily optimistic girlfriend played by Felicia Freitas. Time Stands Still plays at the Mendocino Theatre Company at 45200 Little Lake St. in Mendocino from October 10th-November 10th, Thursdays-Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. on selected Sundays. Time Stands Still is a widely acclaimed and intelligent play, known for its witty dialogue and razor-sharp balance between comedy and drama.
