All in the Timing

Six One Act Plays

May 15-17 & 22-24

Written by David Ives

Directed by: Bec Hasel, Joseph Hunter, Karen Root, and Soren Smithrud.

 All in the Timing is a fast-paced collection of short, comedic plays exploring language, logic, love, and the absurdity of everyday communication. It features the following shows:

Words, Words, Words

Three monkeys are given a typewriter and told they will eventually write the works of Shakespeare. What follows is a wildly funny exploration of intelligence, creativity, frustration, and what it means to be human… even when you’re not.

Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread

A simple trip to the bakery becomes an absurd, rhythmic loop as minimalist composer Philip Glass tries to buy bread. Language repeats, patterns build, and everyday conversation turns into musical chaos.

Sure Thing

A man and a woman meet in a café, but every conversational misstep triggers a reset. The scene restarts again and again until they finally get it right… or at least closer than before. A clever romantic comedy about timing, chance, and communication.

The Philadelphia

Two friends debate the existence of “The Philadelphia,” a mysterious condition where everything inexplicably goes wrong. When one of them suddenly falls into it, logic unravels and reality spirals into perfectly structured nonsense.

Variations on the Death of Trotsky

Revolutionary Leon Trotsky repeatedly dies in increasingly ridiculous ways, only for the scene to reset and try again. A rapid-fire, physical comedy about fate, inevitability, and the illusion of free will.

The Universal Language

Two strangers try to communicate using a newly invented language that sounds nothing like English… but somehow makes perfect sense. A surprisingly sweet and hilarious meditation on love, connection, and understanding.

Cabaret
September 4 - 27

Book by Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb

Directed by Seth Renne

Step inside the Kit Kat Klub, where the drinks flow freely, the music never stops, and the world outside is slowly unraveling. Set in 1939 Berlin, Cabaret follows American writer Cliff Bradshaw and English nightclub singer Sally Bowles as they navigate a city on the brink of political upheaval. As the Emcee welcomes guests to escape their troubles, the shadow of the rising Third Reich begins to fall over the lives of those on and off the stage.

With unforgettable songs like “Willkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” and “Cabaret,” this groundbreaking musical blends dazzling spectacle with unsettling truth. It’s a story of love, denial, and the cost of looking away.

Dark, provocative, and deeply human, Cabaret is a musical that still resonates today, reminding us what happens when the world chooses to dance while the storm gathers.

Silent Sky
October 16 - November 1

By Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Marla Nuttman

In the early 1900s, Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory, where women are hired not to explore the stars, but to record the work of men who do. As part of a team of female "computers," Henrietta is expected to chart the skies without questioning what she sees. But in her free time, she begins to uncover a pattern in the light of distant stars that will forever change the way we understand the universe.

Based on a true story, Silent Sky follows Henrietta’s journey as she navigates scientific discovery, family responsibility, and the limitations placed on women of her time. With grace, humor, and resilience, she reaches for the stars while learning what it means to live fully here on Earth.

This inspiring and beautifully written play celebrates the quiet power of curiosity, the pursuit of knowledge, and the women who refused to be silenced.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's
Cinderella

November 20 - December 13

Music by Richard Rodgers
Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Adapted for the Stage by Tom Briggs

Directed by Debbie Harmon Ferry

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella remains one of the most cherished fairy tales ever told. It is a story of hope, transformation, and the magic of believing in yourself. Inspired by the 1997 television film starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, Cinderella is portrayed as an outsider searching for belonging, courageously stepping into a world that has not always welcomed her.

With warmth, humor, and a touch of sparkle, this version celebrates the power of kindness and imagination. Timeless songs like “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” “Ten Minutes Ago,” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?” invite audiences into a world where dreams can come true and even the most unlikely of heroines can change everything.

Both nostalgic and empowering, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella is a magical journey for audiences of all ages.
