CLC presents “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare"

If you’ve ever had the itch to watch all of Shakespeare’s plays, the College of Lake County (CLC) theatre department has the show for you with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]” this November.

Performances are Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. and Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 17-19 at 7:30 p.m.

A worldwide phenomenon described as “wildly funny” and “masterful” by the Los Angeles Times, this outrageously funny comedy explores what happens when three 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 nonstop laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.

"I think many of us need a good laugh these days, and this outrageous comedy will keep audiences laughing from start to finish,” said Theatre Department Chair Craig Rich. “We are so fortunate to have a talented guest director, Dylan S. Roberts, from Chicago to work with our students on this production. One of our CLC alums, Ben Compton, is returning to choreograph the combat sequences.”

Tickets are $10 for the general public and $8 for CLC students, teenagers and seniors. Tickets are buy one ticket, get one free opening night, Friday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 17.
