We are so excited to once again be able to bring, Kyle R. Thomas’s, “Clocks Are Like Angels,” to yet another audience! In collaboration with Historic Rugby, Murfreesboro Little Theatre will present Clocks Are Like Angels by local playwright Kyle R. Thomas, at the Rebecca Johnson Theatre on July 20, 2024. A reception with the playwright will follow the performance.
This play takes place in a small town in East Tennessee in 1933, when the TVA began dam construction and started buying up land and displacing families. The story opens with a family burying their fifth baby, and later they find out that they must rebury their dead as part of their forced move, which is just unthinkable. As the stakes intensify, they must grapple with the idea if life is still worth living at all. Twists and turns and betrayals ensue, leading to a tragic ending.
The play debuted on June 8 at the Rogue Theater Festival in NYC, marking Tennessee playwright Kyle R. Thomas's third NYC performance since 2022. MLT is delighted to announce that "Clocks Are Like Angels" has won the Best New Play award from Playwrights First, earning it a professional staged reading later this year in front of Broadway producers in NYC.
Rugby, Tennessee was founded in 1880 as a British colony. It is adjacent to the Big South Fork National Recreation Area and is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Nashville and a little over an hour away from Knoxville. Overnight lodging is available at www.historicrugby.org. For more information about Historic Rugby, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
Admission to this performance is free, though donations will be accepted to support Historic Rugby’s ongoing mission to provide a venue for community arts.
