Cut Time by Eliza Epstein

Synopsis: In a fifth-grade classroom, a girl finds that her future unravels like clockwork as she writes a letter to her older self…but underneath the excitement of delicious family dinners and late-night script-editing sessions lies the danger of Dad’s house, a place of abuse and loneliness. Cut Time is about writing, unrequited love, food, family, trauma, and not having enough time. It is kind of about everything, squeezed into 30 minutes.

Eliza Epstein is a playwright based in Lexington, Massachusetts with a passion for writing dramedies. She is a double major in Theater and Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Eliza's work has been featured in playwriting festivals such as Lyric Stage Theater's "First Page" and Ferrell Studio's "Our Time." When she is not writing, you can find Eliza acting, directing, juggling, and crocheting ducks. Eliza loves to take the everyday and make it weird, make it art, and make you laugh.
