Fall Lab Series Production:
PLAY-TIME
Written & Directed by Jack Wolff
December 4-6, 2026, Helms Theatre
The Virginia Players present Play-Time, a 60-minute comedy set in the green room of a far grander production, following one cast across three consecutive nights. Between entrances, Claude falls for the girl from costumes, Amber chases the performance of her life, and Jeremy finds a new calling. Even as everything backstage comes apart, the curtain still rises and the show must go on, whether anyone is ready or not.
Content Warning: Mature content and language
Approximate Runtime: 60 minutes
Tickets on sale soon through the Arts Box Office

The Lab Series Program is presented by the UVA Department of Drama and the Virginia Players. Through Lab Series, we are interested in providing a vehicle for students to produce and direct their own theatrical work, mentored by the Virginia Players Executive Board and Drama Department faculty. By being selected to participate in Lab Series, directors/playwrights will receive up to $200 to launch their proposed project in the a Drama Department facility, often the Helms Theatre, a flexible blackbox performance space. With our resources and guidance, we aspire to give opportunities and experience to students interested in learning more about theatrical production, as well as help them bring their vision into reality on the stage.
