The Do’s And Don’ts Of Time Travel
by Nicholas Wardigo · directed by John V. Bellomo

October 2-19, The Playground at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St 

When her girlfriend Claire is diagnosed with cancer, Zoey’s past becomes her future. Hooked on time travel for decades Zoey wills herself to relive the two most painful years of her life. Rachel thinks Time Travel Movies “suck” and she’s writing a thesis to prove it. She wants Zoey to stop perpetually nursing her ailing lover long enough to change the course of their friendship. In a universe of endless possibilities they learn that no moment in time can ever be recaptured. A tale of love, hate and sacrifice that spins with velocity.
