Connecticut Repertory Theatre Presents ALL IN THE TIMING

Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT), the professional producing arm of the Department of Dramatic Arts at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, continues its Nutmeg Summer Series with the David Ives' comedy, All in the Timing, playing June 10 through 20, 2010 in the Nafe Katter Theatre. The preview performance takes place on June 10 at 7:30 p.m. , and Opening Night is June 11 at 8 p.m.

Described by Ben Brantley of the New York Times as "a wild slice of cerebral vaudeville . . . six utterly delightful one-act plays" make for one great evening of hilarious theatre! Uproarious and smartly written, this is comedy that will tickle your brain and touch your heart!

All in the Timing was originally a book of six one-act plays written by David Ives between 1987 and 1993, and published by Dramatists Play Service in 1994:
· Sure Thing: A man and a woman meet for the first time in a cafe, where they have an awkward meeting that continually restarts each time they say the wrong thing, until, finally, they connect.
· Words, Words, Words: Three chimpanzees attempt to write Hamlet, discussing the merits of literature and questioning its necessity.
· The Universal Language: A man and a woman fall in love while communicating in the invented language Unamunda.
· Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread: A musical parody of minimalist composer, Philip Glass, in which he has an existential crisis in a bakery.
· The Philadelphia: A man in a strange place where he must ask for the opposite of what he wants in a restaurant.
· The Lives of the Saints: Edna and Flo, with perfect Polish accents, prepare for a post-funeral feast with the help of some willing stage hands.
