Our first show is The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again] by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, Jess Winfield, new revisions by Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.

This play is full of energy, crazy transitions, outrageous costumes, and madcap enjoyment as the characters run across the stage and keep you guessing how they will pull off the next play.

It's like Looney Tunes Shakespeare!

“Five actors plan to do every Shakespeare play, including the sonnets, in under two hours. It’s nonstop antics.” Director Tom Schwans says. “There’s swordplay, wordplay, bloodsport, orgies, boobies, and dick jokes – just as Shakespeare intended. But, you know, tastefully...sort of.”
