“The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)”
Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield
Directed by Dr. Kathleen Sills
This outrageously funny comedy explores what happens when over-achieving actors attempt the monumental feat of presenting all of Shakespeare’s plays in a single two-hour production. Fast-paced, witty and full of madcap physicality, it’s an evening of non-stop laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.

- Friday, 4/21, 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, 4/22, 2 p.m.
