In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre has its production of “Time Warped”, on stage through this Sunday.

Written by local playwright Martin Follose, in this comedy Professor Quinton Quibble’s malfunctioning time machine accidentally pulls historical figures, including a pirate, musketeer, and a princess into his present-day lab. This creates chaos and a dangerous temporal rift. To save the world, the professor and his assistant must travel back in time to destroy the machine before it’s ever activated, erasing the entire adventure from existence.

This production is the annual UACT youth production and is being run by students from around Douglas County.

“Time Warped” is on stage nightly through Saturday at 7:00 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for children ages 12 and under. Purchase tickets at www.uact-theatre.com or call the box office at 541-673-4464.
