The Time of Your Life


by William Saroyan


Karamu House Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio 1983


Vernon Odell Wyley as “Joe”

Excerpts from The Sun Press review

“Director Fred Sternfeld has brought if off with a flourish”

“The strength of the play, and this production, comes from the perfection and cumulative
effect of the cameo roles. At times the audience has the impression it is watching a
perpetual-motion machine, as six or seven events unfold simultaneously. Yet the
timing is perfect, one fades into the background as the next wells to the fore”

“For an evening of laughter, tempered by Saroyan’s compassion, I heartily recommend
