One Time by Richard Lyons Conlon
A World Premier Production
April 5 - 29, 2012
Directed by David Cecsarini
Featuring
Linda Stephens as Sonia
Jonathan Gillard Daly as Mason
Description
A man, a woman, one park bench and the need to share secrets forms the basis of an unusual and charming friendship. But in between the entertaining anecdotes that pepper the stories of two lifetimes, Sonia and Mason allude to past attractions, longings, desires, even dangers which suggest that the biggest secret has yet to be divulged. How much of yourself do you reveal before that "one time" turns into one time too many?

Press
"Conlon's 'One Time,' now receiving its world premiere in a Next Act Theatre production blooms into a warm and tender play."
"...completely real and natural... subtle and exquisite acting and Conlon's gift for character-specific language... It's great theater."
"Daly and Stephens bring the relationship to the stage with charm and emotional depth."
"The play is touching and engaging, and these actors lift it to its full affecting potential."
"It is always a treat to see a show that is well scripted, well directed (David Cecsarini) and well acted. Next Act seldom falters in its choices and its delivery."
"A “must-see” of the spring theater season...two exceptionally gifted actors."
"Linda Stephens conjures a stillness of spirit that connects you with her life story even before you know the details. And Jonathan Gillard Daly creates a delightful Mason, charmingly belligerent and impatient, but also witty and engaging."
"Stephens and Daly carry their charisma with a deep affection for each other and their characters, these superb Milwaukee actors a distinct pleasure to watch on stage."
