Set Your Clocks For All in the Timing

After a successful three day run of the play “Where Words Once Were”, the theatre department will soon be back with another performance. The department and their talented production staff plan to put on a performance of David Ines’ All In The Timing. The play is described as “six diverse but equally hysterical one-act comedies,” which is a striking change of genre when compared to the department’s last production. The play is the second major production of the ‘23-’24 school year.

Auditions were held on Oct. 9 and 10, and the show will no doubt feature some of the department’s most talented members. The play will be directed by Whittier College’s very own Professor Katie Liddicoat. Liddicoat has directed other plays at Whittier, such as last semester’s memorable production of She Kills Monsters. “It’s been a delight watching the actors transform into these hysterical characters– in one scene even zooming around the set as typing chimpanzees”, reports Liddicoat.

The production will be one of the last big events before the semester ends. The play opens on Thursday, Nov. 30 and will run until Dec. 3. Students are encouraged to see the play as a way to destress from those dreadful final exams. Students will be admitted for free by showing their student ID, on the first day. By using the code WCPOETS on the Purple Pass link, tickets will be five dollars.

All In The Timing will test the cast’s comedic timing and range as they tell six different stories that have no connection at all! Students will get to see three chimpanzees write Hamlet and see War and Peace author Leon Trotsky die multiple times.

Theatre department’s favorite, Ali Amaya is excited to perform in the upcoming play. “ This semester has been so demanding,” she reflects, “so I think this show will be a great opportunity for students to distress before finals week and really just get together and laugh with us.”

They say laughter is the best medicine so step away from your reading material and get some relief from your seasonal depression by seeing All In The Timing at the Robinson Theater! All in the Timing has evening performances at 7:30 PM on Thursday, Nov. 30th and Friday, Dec. 1st and matinee performances at 2 PM on Saturday, Dec. 2nd and Sunday, Dec. 3rd.
