David Ives’s signature style—brisk pacing, inventive wordplay, and measured surrealism—defines All In The Timing. Each short piece isolates a linguistic joke or philosophical premise, delivering laughter while offering wry commentary on how people understand, or fail to understand, one another. Representative scenarios include:

- Three monkeys at typewriters attempting to produce Hamlet
- A deli-counter exchange that evolves into a minimalist musical parody
- Conversations that spiral into literal and figurative rabbit holes

Most pieces run under ten minutes, yet their precision and insight linger well beyond the final blackout, underscoring that timing remains essential both on stage and in daily life.

Fourth Wall Prescott: Local Talent Meets Professional Standards
Fourth Wall Prescott (also known as 4th Wall Productions) has established a reputation for adventurous programming and solid production values at The Hazeltine.

Fourth Wall Prescott presents All In The Timing, David Ives' award-winning evening of six hysterical short comedies exploring human connection and the absurdity of language — monkeys typing Hamlet, life in a 'Philip Glass' world — with clever wordplay and existential humor. Aug 27–Sep 6, 2026 ...

Mortgage Rates Through the Decades — It’s All About Perspective!

Looking at history helps us understand today’s market. Here’s what monthly payments looked like for a ~$485k home with 10% down over the years:

1970s: 8.86% → $4,077/month
1980s: 12.7% (highest) → $5,335/month
1990s: 8.12% → $3,848/month
2000s: 6.29% → $3,308/month
2010s: 4.07% (lowest) → $3,308/month
Today (6.375%):$2,710 – $3,332/month depending on exact terms

The highest payment ever recorded in this comparison was over $7,400/month in 1981!

Today’s rates might feel high compared to the ultra-low 2010s and early 2020s, but they’re actually much more manageable than many previous decades.
The bottom line? Waiting for “perfect” rates can be risky — and rates have been a lot worse in the past.
