“TIME TO SHINE! (the salesmen)” offers scenes in retail settings where, as comedy, tragedy, and life demonstrate, minor characters assume leading dramatic roles. The title evokes moments bathed in a theatrical spotlight, with actors in the suburban commercial theater poised for an encounter, transporting us to stores, stands, and even the seaside.
