All in the Timing, Six One-Act Plays
By David Ives
Directed by Jared Mongeau
February 27-March 8, 2026
Tony Shalhoub Black Box Theater, Russell Hall, USM Gorham Campus
Enjoy our first show in the newly renovated Tony Shalhoub Black Box Theater! All In The Timing’s six absurdist short plays explore the questions of what it is to be human and the relationships we have with each other on this strange journey of life. What are the odds that have led us to where we are at this moment? What is the cause and effect of our actions? Do we have free will? Winner of the John Gassner Playwriting Award, this critically acclaimed, award-winning evening of comedies explores these questions with wit, intellect, satire and a lot of fun.

From D.C. to Downeast: Avoiding a Debt Crisis
2026-03-12 17:30 - 19:00 | McGoldrick Center for Career & Student Success, 35 Bedford Street, Portland, ME, 04101
The national debt is reaching historic levels and is growing at an unsustainable rate. What does that mean for us here in Maine?
From the stability of Social Security and Medicare to the effect on interest rates, student loans, and housing, the consequences of our debt trajectory affect us all. Join us for an engaging educational forum featuring a panel of federal and state experts for a non-partisan deep dive into our fiscal trajectory and the path toward sustainability, in-person or on zoom.
The Muskie School of Public Service invites you to a panel discussion to explore:
The Drivers: What factors are pushing the national debt to new heights?
The Maine Connection: How do federal budgetary policy and fiscal uncertainty impact our state economy?
A Path Forward: Policy ideas for building a sustainable fiscal future.
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, providing an opportunity to ask the experts questions and join in on the conversation.
