Don't take too much time that the world onstage is left behind. For that moment, actors you are an aside from the theatrical world. Living for a moment in the world of your audience. Don't lose your way back to the rich world created on the stage and your audience will trust your journey. Take too much time with your audience and your contract is broken. The stillness becomes a sever... the moment becomes eternity... the time lapse is infinite.
When an actor breaks the fourth wall in a theatrical production, an invitation as been offered and then in turn accepted by an audience. For just a moment, time stands still in the world created on stage. The stillness granted... the time lapse offered... is a private moment between the actor and the audience.

Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado” A Winter's Gift By Michelle R. Davis and David Ward directed by Timothy D. Turner December 10-12, 2015 Troubled times have befallen Canterbury — the king is absent, the queen is greedy and the people are hungry. To make matters worse, Vikings have been spotted. As Abbot Gregory ponders a potentially calamitous Christmas, news of a winter’s gift arrives — monks have found a chest of gold, soon to be delivered to their abbey. In a convergence of playful, convoluted paths, disguises fall, truths are revealed and a winter’s gift is given just in time for the most celebrated night of all!
