Time Went By

"Time Went By” by Tom Misuraca  - Saturday 8 p.m. Eastern Time (Tom previously wrote "A Serious Scurry of Fluffles"for Good Vibes Summer Season 1!) CAST: Antonella Pérez Ferrero – Antonella is from Georgiaand is involved in several projects with the University of Georgia. Her BAE experience has been quite a ride. Including, joining the incredible ensemble of A Fragile Mind by being in the recently released In Time With Michael Peterson as Melanie Turner. Ray Fletcher – Ray began his journey with BAE as a small role in season 1 episode 07 of A Fragile Mind. He starred in andwas nominated for best actor for his role in Right as Rain. In addition, he was in the hilarious Cole Dzubak written show, Rotted. He’s a character for sure and hales from Maine by way of the UK. Rachel Craig – This is Rachel’s debut with Broken Arts. The Tennessee native also teaches theater and performance. She’s quite busy, but looking forward to getting Rachel into other BAE opportunities. Jack Dumas – Jack has been busy with Broken ArtsEntertainment. He was also in the critically acclaimed, Guilt by Association. One of our most popular shows this season. Jack is being considered for a ton of other roles within the BAE universe. Molly McGill – Saving the best for last, so-to-speak, but might be true. Molly has been working with BAE since 2019 (6 years) which makes her the 3rd most tenured member of the team. Her roles include an Irish Bounty hunter in Quarantine 2038, the play version of Eleven Days, Ahava, and more. She’s also in the upcoming release of Empowered Minds with Susan Wellingham an A Fragile Mind spinoff. She plays Cam, the podcast’s producer, and you can catch this show next week. DIRECTOR & PRODUCER & SOUNDSCAPE ENGINEER Joe Swenson – Joe is the crew on this show as he handled the Soundscape Engineering and Editing for all of the shows with three or more performers. This show presented a lot of challenges (flipping times from 1970 to 2025), creating a sustainable ambience for both time frames, creating an atmosphere for both Harold’s to exist in the same time frame and delicately delivering the very cool button that Tom’s writing allows.
