Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater ... the Reduced Shakespeare Company boldly goes where few would dare - Tinseltown! America’s 'bad boys of abridgement' take on America’s largest cultural and economic export (well, except for weapons) in this seriously silly show biz satire. Get your clapper boards ready as we rummage through the reels and flick through the films in this riotous carnival of the classics. Giving Hollywood more than just a nip and a tuck, they cut through the celluloid to condense the 186 greatest films in Hollywood’s over 100-year history into a complete compilation of classic cinematic cliches - plus a few brand new cliches they just made up.'A hilarious and speedy take on Hollywood’s highs and lows. I loved it! An instant classic!' -B B C'COMPLETELY HOLLYWOOD (ABRIDGED), is witty and wonderful, wowing audiences with its skillful skewering of American cinema.' -Backstage'The abundant comedy springs as often from the visual as the verbal, spewing forth in a fusillade of playfully irreverent images and inventively juxtaposed ideas.' -Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewCritic’s Choice! 'A standing ovation ... Genuinely funny.' -Benedict Nightingale, London Times'COMPLETELY HOLLYWOOD (ABRIDGED) has the kind of hallucinatory sideways comic logic that you find in, say, the films of the Marx Brothers or the early albums of the Firesign Theater.' -KDHX Radio (St. Louis)'You’ll nearly fall out of your theater seat laughing. Spectacularly high energy ... an absolute scream!' -The Arizona Republic

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
