Current Production: All In the Timing
ALL IN THE TIMING is a collection of one-act plays by the American playwright David Ives, all of which were written between 1987 and 1993. It was first published by Dramatists Play Service in 1994, with a collection of six plays; the current collection contains fourteen. They are short, comedic, and frequently employ wordplay.

- THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (directed by Jenni Kitchen) A man and a woman fall in love while communicating in the invented language Unamunda.
- PHILLIP GLASS BUYS A LOAF OF BREAD (directed by Sean Harvey) A musical parody of minimalist composer Philip Glass.
- THE PHILADELPHIA (directed by Linda Witt) A man in a strange state where he must ask for the opposite of what he wants in a restaurant.
