About the event

Step into a world where the absurd meets the profound in All in the Timing, a selection of four plays from David Ives' original masterful collection of one-act shows! From a comically awkward meet-cute to philosophical musings with a troop of existentially-minded monkeys, this production is a laugh-out-loud celebration of the surreal and the sublime.

Whether you're a fan of clever wordplay or an enthusiast of thought-provoking comedy, All in the Timing promises an unforgettable evening of absurd and witty humor. In this production, we're performing the following shorts:


  1. Sure Thing: Two people meet in a cafe and find their way through a conversational minefield on the way to falling in love.

  2. Words Words Words: Recalling the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce Hamlet, this short asks: what would monkeys talk about at their typewriters?

  3. The Philadelphia: A man in a restaurant falls into a "Philadelphia" -- a Twilight Zone-like state in which he cannot get anything he asks for.

  4. The Universal Language: This short brings together Dawn, a young woman with a stutter, and Don, the creator and teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Their lesson sends them off into a dazzling display of hysterical verbal pyrotechnics--and, of course, true love!


Runtime: Two Acts, 75 minutes. Includes one 15-minute intermission.
