Reduced Shakespeare Company
Nov. 15, 2005 - Jan.15, 2006

What's more fun than a show written and performed by the internationally renowned Reduced Shakespeare Company, creators of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)? TWO shows by the Reduced Shakespeare Company — the original bad boys of abridgement!

Note: the two shows will run on an alternating calender. Please check the schedule for specific dates and times.

The Complete History of America (Abridged)
By Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor

600 years of history in 6,000 seconds! In this smart and funny romp through the glorious quagmire that is American history, the RSC tackles such controversial questions as: Who really discovered America? Where was Lucy Ricardo when JFK was assassinated? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? History is normally written by the winners ... now it's the RSC's turn.

"What the Daily Show might be like if it were hosted by the Marx Brothers." - Boston Herald

All the Great Books (Abridged)
Written and Directed by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor

Confused by Confucius? Thoroughly thrown by Thoreau? Wish Swift was swifter? Tennyson tinier? Then buckle up and hop aboard as the three cultural guerrillas of the RSC zip through everything you didn't get around to reading in school. Think of this as Cliffs Notes with laughs.

"A 90-minute roller-coaster ride of hilarity."
- Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
