Our Freepenny Friday performances will always take place on the second Friday of a show's performance run.
About the Play: Step into a world where the absurd meets the profound in All in the Timing, a selection of three 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:
Sure Thing: Two people meet in a cafe and find their way through a conversational minefield on the way to falling in love.
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?
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.
Runtime: One Act, 50 minutes, no intermission
The Cast (in order of appearance):
Kat Liddell (Sure Thing; The Philadephia)
Jason Liddell (Sure Thing; Words Words Words)
Donald Huggins (Words, Words, Words; The Philadelphia)
