4:05 
A NOCTURNAL COMEDY

Five minutes after four o'clock in the morning. Things are different. The air is different, the weather, the mood. It's a time we've all found ourselves in, sometimes by choice, sometimes by chance.

4:05 A NOCTURNAL COMEDY takes place in cramped bedrooms, spacious living rooms and kitchens. In each scene, a different couple finds themselves awake, all for different reasons; insomnia, a crying baby, an ominous phone call, anxiety, work, sex...and always at that very early, very late time of day. We bear witness to these couples as they share the most intimate of conversations that range from extremely funny, to bittersweet and always deeply human. This is a play of details and moments, a comedy of truths that shows how connected we all are, even at this very early, very late time of day. This beautifully constructed play is a must see for all fans of contemporary theater and a perfect fit for our ACE actors on the Actors Cabaret stage!

A Directorial debut by an ACE pro: Hillary Brown got started at ACE when she was ten years old in a production of SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK! Since that time, she's performed in dozens of shows, occasionally along with her mom and her sister! After college she returned to Eugene, and ACE, and began acting again in earnest. Audiences have enjoyed her work in SEUSSICAL, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, DISASTER!, A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER, and most recently SEALED FOR FRESHNESS. She began working with ACE Artistic Director Joe Zingo as an assistant director for CATS and THE PROM and we are thrilled to see her in the director’s chair for 4:05 A NOCTURNAL COMEDY
