Port Townsend’s newest theater company brings the laughs this weekend.

Featuring five one-act comedies, David Ives’ “All in the Timing” is a witty, romantic, absurd, and existentially-minded evening of theatre, featuring a cast of 13 local actors, many of whom are familiar faces for Jefferson County audiences.

In “The Philadelphia,” a man discovers that he’s entered a strange pocket of the universe where the only way to get what he wants is to ask for the opposite.

“Words, Words, Words” takes the infinite monkey theorem —  the idea that given enough time, three monkeys in a room could eventually compose any given text, including Shakespeare’s Hamlet — and turns it into reality.

In “The Universal Language,” a shy young woman places her faith in her fraudulent language tutor, who is changed for the better when he discovers the language they share; not the made-up Unamunda that he professes to be fluent in, but rather the language of love.

“Sure Thing” features a couple on a first date with the opportunity to reset and try again each time they say the wrong thing.

Finally, in “Variations on the Death of Leon Trotsky,” the audience is treated to the hilarious vision of the famous Marxist waxing poetical and dying, over and over and over again.

Pay-what-you-wish tickets will be available at the door.

Performances will be at Vintage, 725 Water St., at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 11 through Sunday, May 14; and Thursday, May 18 through Sunday, May 21.
