Six comedies, four actors, one night

The acclaimed Newton Nomadic Theater is back. All in the Timing is David Ives’ uproarious series of one-act comedies. Four actors, six plays, a loosely interconnected series of ridiculous sketches that will have you howling.

For this show, the entire cast are Newton Nomadic veterans. Billy Meleady (Faith Healer, Turn of the Screw, Molly Sweeney), Noni Lewis (title character in Molly Sweeney), Sarah Morrisette (young nun in Doubt), and Matt Winberg (priest in Doubt).

Directors Billy Meleady and Nicole Galland promise us an over-the-top, side splitting, 70’s drenched acid flashback of a show. This weekend’s shows are in a barn in Newton Highlands.

Friday and Saturday, 7:30 pm and Sunday, 3:00 pm – Three weeks only June 2nd -18th.  Tickets and info at NewtonNomadicTheater.org.
