When a member of their community disappears, an order of Benedictine monks is forced to reckon with their conceptions of loyalty, identity, justice and Godliness. Ordinary Time is a durational, experiential performance that asks us to weigh the costs and benefits of silence.

“Most of the women in Claire Chafee’s elegant comedy are searchers by trade. Archaeologists, paleontologists and private investigators, they spend their time ferreting out clues, digging up the past, checking out different possibilities. Risk and uncertainty are their daily bread. These gals are perpetually out on a limb. In each case, the women’s chosen fields are a flight from traditional roles, propelled by a fear of getting stuck in a groove of routine. At the nucleus is a family of women at odds with the world around them.” (Drama-Logue)
