Produced by Harlem9 for their “48 Hours in…” festival. In the span of 48 hours, six playwrights, six directors, and 18 actors (all native or local to Baton Rouge, La) split into six companies that each presented 10-minute plays that responded to the theme “No Place Like Home.” Each company was randomly assigned a health disparity that disproportionately impacts people in the Baton Rouge area.

Bons Temps Time Shift, written by Alexandra Barbier, is a campy, semi-dystopian look at the future impacts of chronic lower respiratory disease in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
