ing Arts Center, located at

Winner of the John
Gassner Playwrighting
Award, “All in the Timing”
is a collection of six diverse
one-act comedies that make
for a witty, romantic, absurd
and existentially-minded
evening of theater.
In “Sure Thing,” a couple
on a irst date are able to
reset and try again each time
they say the wrong thing.
In “Words, Words,
Words,” three monkeys in
a room type into ininity
seeking to compose Shake-
speare’s “Hamlet.”
“The Universal Lan-
guage” brings together a
young woman with a stutter
and the teacher of Unamun-
da, a wild comic language.
Could their dazzling display
of verbal pyrotechnics lead
to true love?
And there’s three more...
The play has parts for
three actors and three ac-
tresses ranging in age from
20 to 45-ish.
Auditionees will be asked
to read scenes from the play
during auditions.
