There is a post-show talk-back with the playwright, cast and crew, after the production closes on Sunday May 17th (approximately 3:40pm)
In this gay epic spanning 160 years, ON TIME follows five couples, weaving together moments of love, heartbreak, and survival across centuries. Through a series of intimate encounters—some fleeting, some life-altering—the play explores how time bends, repeats, and reshapes the course of human lives. From the clandestine desires of two coworkers in Victorian England to the modern-day uncertainty of fiancés on the brink of matrimony in the American South, love, loss and fate intertwine in this sweeping, intimate exploration of human connection while illuminating the barriers history has long placed on queer love.
The five couples are played by only two cast members. Each cast member represents five different characters over five different time periods.

No crystal ball. Just clarity.
Specializing in real-life Happily Ever Afters, sessions with Shannon are intuitive, heart-centered, and woven in joy. Unlike psychic readings that focus on predicting fixed outcomes, these sessions open space for healing and more joy in your life—whether you’re seeking greater love in relationships, clarity in career and purpose, peace in health and well-being, or guidance for the next step in your journey.
Each session is unique and may include:
✨ Soul-centered guidance and inspiration for your path ✨ Intuitive insight into patterns and emerging possibilities in your life ✨ Energy clearing and heart-healing for release and peace ✨ Support in letting go of what no longer serves you ✨ Encouragement for wishes, dreams, and new beginnings ✨ Joy-filled awakenings and upshifts into higher resonance
Here, you are invited to step into clarity, peace, and joy in ways that touch every part of your life. A session may help you release burdens you’ve carried too long, notice new possibilities you hadn’t seen before, reconnect with what is sacred, or simply feel lighter and more at ease in where you are now.
Each session leaves you with guidance, encouragement, and inspiration — and with the sense that dreams can unfold in real life, miracles are possible, and your very own Happily Ever After may be nearer than you've imagined.
What to Know: All sessions with Shannon are in Divine timing; always free (no costs, no strings); and are complementary with all belief systems (secular or nonsecular) and all paths of life.
About Shannon
Shannon is a mystic, master of sciences, interfaith minister, and founder of Joy Alchemy®. She specializes in real-life Happily Ever Afters, carrying a rare fusion of mystic depth, scientific clarity, and compassion in her work.
Whether in a one-on-one session, a group circle, or a community class, Shannon walks beside others as they discover peace, clarity, miracles, and joy in their own lives.
