History Will Never Be the Same

The Reduced Shakespeare Company celebrates its 35th Anniversary with a new production that is sure to confuse voters just in time for the 2016 Presidential election. The Company has toured internationally and performed at the White House, off-Broadway, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, London’s West End, Seattle Repertory Theatre, American Repertory Theatre and Montreal’s famed Just for Laughs Festival.

“An apt description of what the company does is intellectual vaudeville. They are smart, cheeky clowns who present themselves as a collective repository for most of American mass culture.” Stephen Holden – New York Times

These “bad boys of abridgment” will cover historic icons from Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong, from George Washington to Barack Obama, yea verily from the Bering Strait to Baghdad, from the New World to New World Order. Audiences can expect appearances by the frontrunners in the 2016 Presidential Election––and maybe even Barack Obama––in this satirical comedy.

Did you know? The group won the prestigious Shorty Award in New York City and the Delft Audience Award in Holland.

“The Reduced Shakespeare Company cheerfully run riot over 500 years of our country’s history… they mine dozens of landmark events and trends for comic gold. The trio’s nimble tongues, rubber-limbed pratfalls and obvious street-performer smarts make this a merry, nose-tweaking outing.” Washington Post

Hop on this 90-minute roller-coaster ride through The Complete History of America (abridged): Election Edition at The American Theatre on Saturday, October 29 at 8pm!
