Bainbridge Performing Arts has announced that it will host Swinging Hammer Productions’ 2016 Winter One Acts from Thursday, Jan. 21 to Sunday, Jan. 24.

The show will feature performances of six short plays from “All in the Timing” by David Ives, the master of absurdist humor.

“BPA has long been a generous supporter of local theatre groups and we are delighted to present ‘All in the Timing’ there,” said producer Tom Challinor, former director of the BPA Shakespeare Society and founder of Swinging Hammer Productions.

“After debuting with ‘American Buffalo’ by David Mamet last May, we were looking for an opportunity to produce another show, and David Ives is sure to entertain and delight.”

This production is the sixth annual Winter One Act Festival, which was presented by Dinah Manoff of the Northwest Actors Lab in previous years.

Tickets, $20 for adults and $15 for seniors, military, teachers and students, can be purchased online at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org, by calling the box office at 206-842-8569 or in person at BPA (200 Madison Ave. North).

Ives’ “All in the Timing” ran off-Broadway for over 600 performances, eventually winning an Outer Critics Circle Playwriting Award.

In the 1995-96 season, it was the most performed play in the country — except for the works of Shakespeare.

This production will feature six of the many short plays by Ives: “Time Flies,” “Words, Words, Words,” “The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage,” “The Philadelphia,” “Mere Mortals” and “Variations on the Death of Trotsky.”

While the playwright is better known for his recent hits “Venus in Fur” and ”The School for Lies,” these short satirical snapshots are smart and funny, but also poignant at moments, reminding us to think while we laugh.
