After a successful show earlier this year, local playwright David Morris is looking to make his shows a regular fixture.

The original play, “Lost in Time,” debuts Nov. 10 at Luttrell Barn Cultural Center with shows at 1 and 7 p.m.

The one-act show is free admission for all ages with donations welcome for the Luttrell Barn. The show will be accessible for all guests, whether viewing on the second-floor stage or watching a TV broadcast from the first floor.

Morris staged the show, “It’s Greek to Me,” in March, and his latest play will have a similar structure and tone as well as many of the same cast members.

“It’s a good group, really funny, and this is the second play I’ve had with a lot of this cast,” Morris said. “If I can keep working with these people, it would be great so I don’t have to hunt like crazy for actors.”

The show follows a pair of time-traveling scientists from Moffat County who continually get stuck in different eras while meeting cave people, royals and figures from the Wild West who come along for the ride.

High school students Brenna Boatman and Olivia Cordova are the youngest in the cast, though they play crucial parts. Boatman plays Bob Ferapples, the put-upon assistant who serves as a punching bag to most of the other characters.

“It’s a little painful at times, but it’s pretty fun,” she said. “Hopefully, I don’t walk out with too many bruises.”

Cordova portrays Marie Antoinette, whose notoriety as a spoiled queen comes through in spades, due in no small part to Cordova leaning heavily into the French accent.

“She’s a very ‘pick me’ person, and we’re trying to show that with stuff like the costume,” she said. “When I first got the part, I thought it was cool because you already have an idea of how to do it.”

Cordova credited Boatman with bringing her into the show. She was part of the high school’s spring play during the last show but was eager to find a fall activity.

“I’m really thankful that Brenna tells me that everything that’s going on,” Cordova said.

Boatman was in Morris’ show in March and was eager to return.

“I love the plays that he puts on. I was in a bunch of shows he wrote when I was in middle school,” Boatman said. “I also love the people. I really get along with everyone.”

Morris hopes the turnout from his previous show will be indicative of his latest and possibly make his shows a regular feature every few months.

“That last one was a success, and I don’t see why this one wouldn’t be,” he said. “I thought we’d get nobody, but we packed the place last time. It’s wonderful to be able to do this again. With the right people, it all goes great.”

The director and his troupe of actors are also hoping to bring more people into the fold in the future.

“Our rehearsals are always really fun, even when it’s kind of last-minute,” Cordova said. “There’s just lots of laughter and fun in it.”
