Tish Reilly has a very special friend – Time. Tish can go back to any place where a good memory remains and enter it, reliving the moments that please her. When she reunites with the oft-remembered Larry, her first love, she finds a reason to finally begin to push forward in her life again. But will Time, who has grown so fond of her, be willing to let her go?

      see full review at http://www.vividstage.com A soft piano lullaby with a lulling and feminine voice start the show. A woman sits downstage right, alone, and gently speaks out, “I have a secret.” And thus, The Long Now unfolds. This woman, Tish, played passionately by Shannon Grounds, is a social recluse, backing away from her super-friendly co-worker, Sherrie (Anne Hulsman) for lunch dates, or coiling in retreat from her sexually inappropriate and awkward boss. Tish lives in a haunted world, always lonely, preferring to live in memories from past rather than approaching the present with awareness. Collapse

      The show was wonderfully done! Beth Burns is a great storyteller who hits both your funny bone and your tear ducts with excellent precision! It's the kind of show that you want to see more than once so you can continue to get different elements out of the show. Kudos to all of the cast, Beth Burns, and to Connor Hopkins for his set work and assistance with the shadow puppets! Collapse
