David Ives\u2019 “All in the Timing” comes to the Brush Creek stage.<\/p>\n

Brush Creek Playhouse continues its 2017 season with a delightful twist . . . or three. Director\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Dixie McCartney<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>makes her Brush Creek debut with this set of comedic one-acts from David Ives.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, these short plays explore some eternal \u2013 and not so eternal \u2013 themes, with wonderfully comic results.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, “Words, Words, Words” recalls the philosophical adage that monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce “Hamlet” and asks: What would the monkeys talk about as they sat at their typewriters? “Variations on the Death of Trotsky\u00b8” on the other hand, shows us the Russian\u00a0<\/span><\/span>revolutionary on the day of his demise, desperately trying to cope with the mountain-climber\u2019s axe he\u2019s discovered in his head. In “English Made Simple” an otherwise ordinary encounter between a young man and a young woman at a party takes on an extraordinary depth of meaning when their immediate romantic attraction is translated into a comically unromantic grammar lesson as they struggle to free themselves from the banal constrictions of party talk. Just four actors —\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Tavis Evans<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Julianna Gibbons<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Marc Wassom<\/a>, and Ariel Blain — present all the roles in this critically acclaimed, award-winning set of comedies.<\/p>\n

The show opens Friday, June 16 and runs through Sunday, July 2, with performances at 7 pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm Sundays. Brush Creek now sells reserved seat tickets. Tickets are $10 ($8 for seniors, children and students) and can be purchased in advance at Runaway Art and Craft Studio<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on 311 NE Commercial Street in downtown Salem or at\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Books N Time<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on 210 N. Water Street in downtown Silverton. They are also available at the door beginning 30 minutes before each performance.<\/p>\n

Attendees are encouraged to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes before curtain in order to ensure that we can get everyone seated in time for the performance.<\/p>\n

Parents with young children will want to take note that some of the plays include strong language.<\/p>\n
