The newest stage play from multiple
award-winning author Charles Carr, All the Time in the
World premiered in spring 2010 at the Maxine's Staples
Center Theater. Over its six performance run, the production grossed
nearly $10,000 with proceeds going to benefit disaster relief in San
Diego's North County.
All the Time in the World is at its heart
a love story set against the backdrop of a lone man's struggle
against powerful forces determined to manipulate his talent for
their own gain. The mystery/drama has a fast moving plot with
Hitchcock-like suspense, twists, and surprises that entertains
audiences and keeps them involved right until the end.
For the play's premiere (pictured above), talented San Diego North
County artists created more than 30 original pieces in the abstract
style of the play's protagonist
such as Will Ferrell, Bob Ochs, Betsy Domanski, Richard Powers,
Renee Richetts, Sally Pearce, Pamela York, WL Wilson and other local artists. The works were first used to dress
the stage, set in an artist's studio, then auctioned for charity.
Something similar will be done for the play's next production to
benefit the Escondido
Arts Partnership.

Broadway productions.”

TEACHER OF THE YEAR BILL KIVITLI

“Mysteriously wonderful!”
- ROADRUNNER
COLUMNIST PATSY FRITZ
----------------------------------------------------------------
“The spirit behind Carr's work is a love letter to his home
and community.”
“The play, a Hitchcock-like mystery/drama ... brings home
the true
meaning not only of community theater, but of community.”
- NORTH COUNTY TIMES
COLUMNIST BRIGID BRETT
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Encompasses two familiar Hitchcock themes - murder and
love. But Carr takes
this whodunit one step further by brining in the theme of
artistic integrity.”

end!”

Don’t miss it!”
