"The President's Arts Awards is a treasured celebration of the artists and patrons who brighten our communities with their culinary, literary, visual and performative skills," said President Cooper.

Late nights. Big questions. A new millennium. A world premiere. 🕛

30 by Ninety Theatre proudly presents the WORLD PREMIERE of Late Shift, a moving new play by local playwright David Armand, directed by Julie Keen.

As the world braces for Y2K and the clock ticks toward 🕛 midnight on December 31, 1999, one family faces something even more uncertain than a computer glitch. A recently widowed mother and her two adult children are simply trying to make ends meet when an unexpected friendship with a retired Army veteran changes everything.

Filled with heart, humor, and humanity, Late Shift is a story about family, hope, and the connections that matter most when the future feels uncertain.

September 4–6, 2026
ONE WEEKEND ONLY!

Be among the very first audiences anywhere to experience this brand-new play before anyone else.

🕛 Meet the Playwright: DAVID ARMAND

Every world premiere begins with a story... and this one begins with a local voice.

David Armand holds a B.A. and M.A. from Southeastern Louisiana University and an M.F.A. from the University of Arkansas. He has taught creative writing at Southeastern for nearly twenty years and is the award-winning author of twelve books, including being honored with the 2022 Louisiana Writer Award.

David wrote LATE SHIFT from his own experiences working as a telemarketer and the people he met there who gave him hope when he needed it most. Their stories, friendship, and encouragement became the inspiration for this heartfelt new play.

More than twenty years later, David discovered that the man who had hired him at that telemarketing job is now the Executive Director of 30 by Ninety Theatre. Sometimes life has a remarkable way of coming full circle.

On David’s final day as a telemarketer, his supervisor, Ms. Sandra, told him she expected to see his name in lights someday. She saw something in a young 19-year-old writer that he couldn’t yet see in himself.

Now, that prediction comes true as 30 by Ninety Theatre proudly presents the WORLD PREMIERE of LATE SHIFT.
