Directed by Alexis Black
June 20, 21, 22 at 7PM & June 23 at 4PM
A cultural touchstone was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance faires, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes, by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. This latest “Revised Again” version includes changes that celebrate and encourage greater diversity and inclusivity in today’s theater! Recommended for ages 12 and Up.
RUN TIME: 90 Minutes with a 15 Minute Intermission
BONUS ENTERTAINMENT:
Post-Show Friday, June 21 – SCT Cabaret: An Evening of Broadway (sing along to your favorite showtunes!)
Pre-Show 3PM Sunday, June 23 – Greater Lansing Ballet Company
