Saint Leo theatre students presenting one-act comedies ‘All in the Timing’ November 4 – 6
Saint Leo University theatre will present All in the Timing, November 4 – 6, in the Black Box Theatre in Benedictine Hall on the west side of University Campus. This comedy production is sponsored by the Department of Language Studies and the Arts.
Featuring six diverse but equally hysterical one-act comedies, David Ives’ All in the Timing is a witty, romantic, absurd, and existentially-minded evening of theater. Warning: This production contains profanity.
All in the Timing will be presented by our students at the following times and dates:
- Friday, November 4, 7 p.m.
- Saturday, November 4, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
- Sunday, November 6, 3 p.m.
General admission presale tickets are $5; day-of-performance tickets are $8. Purchase tickets here.
Should you require accessible seating, please email the box office at StLeoTheatre@saintleo.edu.
The one-act comedies include:
- Sure Thing, in which a couple on a first date has the opportunity to reset and try again each time they say the wrong thing.
- Words, Words, Words takes the “infinite monkey theorem” –the idea that given enough time, three monkeys in a room could eventually compose any given text, including Shakespeare’s Hamlet—and turns it into reality.
- In The Universal Language, a shy young woman places her faith in her fraudulent language tutor, who is changed for the better when he discovers the language they share: not the made-up “Unamunda” he professes to be fluent in, but rather the language of love.
- Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread is an existential mini-musical parody based on the work of composer Philip Glass.
- In The Philadelphia, a man discovers that he’s entered a strange pocket of the universe where the only way to get what he wants is to ask for the opposite.
- In Variations on the Death of Leon Trotsky, the audience is treated to the vision of the famous Marxist waxing poetical—and dying, over and over again.
