The Complete History of America (abridged)by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor Directed by Susan Erickson Sept 5 - 28
If you enjoy American History and High Comedy (is that redundant?) you’ll not want to miss The Complete History of America (abridged) opening at The Vortex Theatre September 5 and playing 4 weekends through September 28.
This satirical, fast-paced, physical comedy is the brain child of authors Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor, the same creative team that turned Shakespeare’s tragedies into belly laughs with The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged) and put audiences in stitches with The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). A small cast of three, wild and crazy young men will perform 60 different male and female roles to bring the audience 500 years of American History in 100 minutes of hilarious, inspired lunacy. Few people learned in school that “Lewis & Clark” was actually a vaudeville act, that Betsy Ross had a sister (Diana), or that WW I soldiers liked to strap on brassieres and wigs and . . . well, perhaps you’ll just need to see that part. And yes, George Bush will be there in person to take questions from the audience.
