Time Served

Time Served is a step out of a comfort zone. It is an attempt to do ANYTHING--except to find resolution. It is a confrontation, a recognition, and a bold questioning of the isolation we face as human beings. Told through poetry and prose, with stunning visuals and high theatricality, Time Served is an exploration of the human experience inspired by a visionary writer and performer's years spent teaching incarcerated students.

Based on the soon-to-be-released book of poetry by the same name, Time Served is written and performed by Carlos Contreras, directed by Hannah Kauffmann Banks, and co-produced by Tricklock Company and West End Publishers with help from the Albuquerque City Urban Enhancement Trust Fund. Time Served is a not-to-be missed new production.

"Time Served is a rich and rigid work cementing Carlos Contreras as a major voice of the American southwest. In these tragic yet lovingly rendered confessions, Contreras examines the physical and emotional prisons forced upon us." - Idris Goodwin - Playwright, Performer, Professor Colorado College

"Time Served is poetic proof of Carlos Contreras' personal and literary commitment to serve as a respectful and honest witness to painful struggles, dark corners, unexpected art, and honest humanity that exist in and outside of correctional facilities; exist in and outside of not-so-perfect, but loving families; and most definitely reside within all human beings."
Dr. Shelle Sanchez, NM State Dept. Cult. Affairs
