Vote early, laugh often! The Complete History of America (abridged) — *Special Election Edition* is the only cure for America’s aches and campaigns!
Newly updated for the 2024 election, the Reduced Shakespeare Company will recount 600 years of history in 6,000 seconds…History will never be the same!
From Valley Forge to Fake News, yea verily from Manifest Destiny to Mar-A-Lago, from Alexander Hamilton the Patriot to Hamilton the Musical, the three cultural guerillas of the Reduced Shakespeare Company will take you on a ninety-minute rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American history.
And the “presidential front-runners” may just make a surprise appearance to answer any audience questions: Who really discovered America or was it already here? Who is Gerry and why does he mander? If the pro is the opposite of con, then is progress the opposite of congress? History is normally re-written by the winners… but now it’s the Reduced Shakespeare Company’s turn.
Called a “trio of Modern Marx Brothers” by the Boston Herald and “intellectual vaudeville” by the New York Times, The Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC) is a touring American comedy troupe that performs fast-paced, seemingly improvisational condensations of huge topics.
