THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THEATRE, ABRIDGED
Troy Civic Theatre
Feb. 27-March 8
Directed by Mike Maxson
Presented in the same style as The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Abridged, this madcap, nonstop comedy will lead audiences through the history of live theatre, from its beginnings in ancient Greece, to the grand musicals of today. William Shakespeare, theatrical diva Sarah Bernhardt, and the intellectual Constantine Stanislavsky attempt to hold the show together despite the many obstacles they endure – including each other – but when the producer appears onstage, things only get worse when the cast finds out they are trapped in a play within a play. Just as they are nearing the end, the trio learn the playwright hasn’t even written an ending, and they are forced to seek the audience’s help in finding a creative conclusion to the show. This interactive farce will keep you in stitches at every turn!
