ALL IN THE TIMING by David Ives to be Presented at Rochester Fringe 2024
Enjoy a night of wit, humor, and clever dialogue from September 19-28.
Sunday Stages Theatre Company will be returning to the Rochester Fringe Festival in September! This time with clever comedy of All in the Timing by David Ives. The Rochester Fringe Festival runs from Tuesday, September 10 — Saturday, September 21. Performances will be Sept 14, 15, and 19 (Saturday 9/14 @ 5pm, Sunday 9/15 @ 3:30pm, and Thursday 9/19 @ 5:30pm) at The Temple Theatre (50 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester).

All in the Timing is a collection of one-act plays by David Ives. The six short plays are mostly comedies or dramatic comedies and focus on wordplay and, wouldn't you know it, comedic timing! Ives won the Outer Critics Circle Playwriting Award for All in the Timing and in the 1995-96 Off Broadway season it was the most performed play in the country after Shakespeare productions. Sunday Stages hopes to showcase this Ives classic in a brand new way by staging the play completely in the round, and adding in “fringe festival” elements like transitions in between each play and many opportunities for audience interaction! Be ready to suggest words for “ad libs,” drench one of the castmates before they enter a scene, and maybe even join the cast as a character in a scene or two!
This is Sunday Stages' second production involved with the Rochester Fringe Festival, and their first production in the Temple Theatre. In 2024, they brought “35mm: A Musical Exhibition” to the Fringe Festival which was the company's inaugural production! The show was a huge success and sold out a performance, leaving audiences begging for more! “The vibes for All in the Timing are definitely different than ‘35mm…' but the show is just as fun, entertaining, and clever,” says cast member and Sunday Stages co-founder, Tiffany Thompson. “This collection of plays has incredibly clever writing, Ives is insanely gifted at what he does. It's a real joy to be a part of.”
