College Maskrafters' Have Great "Timing" for Laughs
Tickets remain for the second and final weekend of the Georgetown College Maskrafters' spring production "All In The Timing," five short one-act plays that could just as well be "All in the Laughing." "It's familiar comedy with a certain rhythm and it has a tinge of the Vaudeville put into the weirdest situations," said Director and Theatre professor Ed Smith.

How better to spend 80 minutes than laughing? Curtain is at 8 p.m., Friday through Sunday in the Ruth Pearce Wilson Lab Theatre. Tickets are $4 for students, $5 for adults at the door or at the campus bookstore. Call 502-863-8134 for reservations.

According to Dr. Smith, these short comedies by New York playwright David Ives deal with a wide variety of topics and issues - the Tower of Babel, Leon Trotsky's assassination, three monkeys trying to type the works of Shakespeare, a Bermuda-triangle of bad luck known as "a Philadelphia" and the chances of finding one's true love at a random party - that are funny and though-provoking. Critics have described Ives' work as "built on snappy patter, quick-fire comic brilliance, inspired gibberish and paradoxical plot quirks" and a "collection of brain-teasing comedies."
