WEST ORANGE, NJ - The West Orange High School Fall play, "All In the Timing," is a clever, witty, and humorous series of vignettes about time and how it plays out in various people's lives. The show runs Nov. 3 and 4 in the WOHS auditorium beginning at 7:00 pm. (Doors open at 6:30). Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door for $15.00 (cash only). A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Drama Boosters.

A talented cast brings the works of author David Ives to life, doing justice to the Off-Broadway hit. Ives, known for his love of language and wordplay, crafts several short plays with comedic tones offering perspectives on life: its meaning, its quirkiness, and the complexities of romantic relationships. The actors' commitment to the dialogue - of which there is much - will be appreciated by the audience as they chuckle throughout the performance.

Directed by drama teacher Wendy Mapes, produced by Deb Coen, with lighting by Lauren Grof-Tisza and sound by Class of 2020 Mazen Dahroug, the staging is simple yet effective with projected scenes and "timely" music segueing into each new act.
