Players Ring

PORTSMOUTH – “As Time Goes By,” opening at the Players Ring on Sept. 18, is the theatre’s premier production for its 2026-27 Mainstage Season. Written by G. Matthew Gaskell and directed by Jamie Bradley, the play is about time travel, comedy and heart.An inexplicable visitor from the future, Billy, arrives with one mission: to prevent young Susie Peabody and her fiancé Tommy Brady from spending this one particular night together. Why? Because if they do, the consequences could ripple across time itself. Determined to keep fate on track, Billy risks tearing a hole in the space-time continuum as he repeatedly intervenes in the lives of the Peabody family.
The idea came from both Gaskell’s and Bradley’s love for time travel. Sept. 18 through Oct. 11. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. 
Cost: General Admission: $33; Seniors (65+)/Students/Veterans/First Responders: $31. Visit www.playersring.org for tickets and more information.
