Originating from Paul Linke’s true experience in Time Flies When You’re Alive, an HBO Showcase (Ace Award nominee), It’s Time is a remarkable story that celebrates the enormity of life and the paths that we choose. Once broken, a young family finds a renewed sense of hope as time ticks forward twenty years. Created by the award winning writer/performer Paul Linke, this is a bookend to the journey of a young man who was lost until he took a chance by grabbing at the opportunities and strength he saw around him.

It’s Time runs Fridays at 8, Saturdays at 5, Sundays at 2 through Dec, 4 at Ruskin Group Theatre, 3000 Airport Ave., Santa Monica. Tickets are $25 ($20 for students, seniors, and guild members). They may be  purchased at 310.397.3244 or at www.ruskingrouptheatre.com Ample free parking is available.   Facebook.com/RuskinGroupTheatre

“This story,” said producer Michael Meyers, “is a wonderful reminder that even when you think the world’s got you beat, just hang onto something you are passionate about. Something good will come of it. It’s about not quitting a second before the miracle happens.”

“I wanted to explore how love can save you, in times of grief, in times of doubt, and how it can give us all strength to live in the moment,” says director Edward Edwards.
