At the Overtime, a Dark Comedy Learns to Breathe: "Romeo Chang" Plays Through July 11.
Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich's award honored play, directed by Mark McCarver, runs on the Gregg Barrios stage at San Antonio's Theater for the People.
SAN ANTONIO. Some plays argue with death. "Romeo Chang" tries to bargain with it, and finds the comedy in the negotiation. The Overtime Theater is presenting Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich's emotionally powerful, poetic dark comedy with a hint of fantasy through Saturday July 11 on its Gregg Barrios stage.
The story begins where most would end. Jen, in the middle of a pregnancy, learns she is dying of Stage 4 cancer. Rather than count the days, she goes looking for more of them, and finds a qi gong master named Romeo Chang who may know how to keep her here long enough to meet her child. What follows is funny in the way that only the truest things are funny: a play about parents and children, life and death, and the sacrifices we make for people we have not met yet.
Directed by Mark McCarver, the production is the work of San Antonio actors, designers, stage managers, and crew who build a whole world inside the Overtime's intimate room, where the back row is still close enough to see a held breath. The play earned an ATAC Globe Award in its earlier Overtime run, and it returns now with the same nerve and a little more tenderness.
The Overtime Theater has been Theater for the People since 2007, an all volunteer company devoted to new and unconventional work, with the door kept open to everyone. "Romeo Chang" continues that tradition. Come as you are, sit close, and let a comedy about dying remind you what it feels like to be alive.
Performances (evening curtain 8:00 PM, matinees 2:00 PM): Saturday June 20 at 8:00 PM. Sunday June 21 at 2:00 PM. Thursday June 25 at 8:00 PM. Friday June 26 at 8:00 PM.

En el Overtime, una comedia oscura aprende a respirar: "Romeo Chang" en escena hasta el 11 de julio.
La obra galardonada de Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich, dirigida por Mark McCarver, en el escenario Gregg Barrios del Theater for the People de San Antonio.
SAN ANTONIO. Algunas obras discuten con la muerte. "Romeo Chang" intenta negociar con ella, y encuentra la comedia en esa negociación. El Overtime Theater presenta la comedia oscura, poética y con un toque de fantasía de Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich hasta el sábado 11 de julio en su escenario Gregg Barrios.
La historia empieza donde la mayoría terminaría. Jen, en la mitad de su embarazo, se entera de que está muriendo de un cáncer en etapa 4. En lugar de contar los días, sale a buscar más, y encuentra a un maestro de qi gong llamado Romeo Chang que quizá sepa cómo mantenerla aquí el tiempo suficiente para conocer a su hija. Lo que sigue es gracioso como solo lo más verdadero puede serlo: una obra sobre padres e hijos, la vida y la muerte, y los sacrificios que hacemos por personas que aún no conocemos.
Dirigida por Mark McCarver, la producción es obra de actores, diseñadores, jefes de escena y equipo técnico de San Antonio que construyen un mundo entero dentro de la sala íntima del Overtime, donde la última fila aún está lo bastante cerca para ver contener la respiración. La obra ganó un premio ATAC Globe en su temporada anterior en el Overtime, y regresa ahora con el mismo nervio y un poco más de ternura.
El Overtime Theater ha sido Theater for the People desde 2007, una compañía de voluntarios dedicada a obras nuevas y poco convencionales, con la puerta abierta para todos. "Romeo Chang" continúa esa tradición. Ven como eres, siéntate cerca, y deja que una comedia sobre la muerte te recuerde lo que se siente estar vivo.
