Tulis McCall’s All In Good Time is playing at The Playroom Theatre, December 11 and 12.
Award-winning wit, wag, and piquant observer of life’s mysterious ways, McCall sets her sites on the greatest mystery of all: death, and how to live with it. When she suddenly sees a woman of a certain age staring back from her mirror, she demands to know how and when that broad got in there, and if she’s leaving anytime soon. Jon Lonoff directs.

The author of two previous one-person shows, What Everywoman Knows – A Historical Comedy, featuring the true and often neglected stories of our foremothers – was produced at the Public Theatre in New York by Michael Moriarty and the Potters Field Theatre Company, and at the West Coast Ensemble in Los Angeles by Dan Lauria, Joanna Kerns and Peter Gatien. She has toured this play across college campuses and high schools in over 40 states. Her second one-person show, Running With Scissors – stories of contemporary urban lives – was directed by Philip Proctor of the Firesign Theatre and became Critic’s Choice of both the L.A.

Jon Lonoff is an award-winning director/writer, whose efforts have been seen on stages and screens throughout the world.

Everest)
“If you are older than I, thank you for beating the bushes and leaving a trail,” says McCall. “If you are younger than I, think of me as waiting for you on the other side of your mid-life crisis. If you are my peer, welcome to the Bar Car. Drinks are on the house.”
In All In Good Time McCall asks us to reflect on a journey that is universal but rarely acknowledged. “Once we are ‘evicted from the womb’ we are all on the same trajectory, so why is our mortality the last thing any of us want to discuss or consider?” McCall muses on how we ignore and euphemize aging, especially the female variety, until we arrive on its doorstep. “We dismiss the mileage on our own personal odometers until we reach that tipping point where the future is shorter than the past.”
