By: BWW News Desk Apr. 17, 2017
Both productions are directed by Ben Libert, are staged on the same set and feature many of the same actors who tackle the challenge of playing two separate roles in Repertory. Performances run alternating days Thursday's through Saturday's, May 4th through May 20th.
The Bomb-itty of Errors is an energetic, fast-paced, musical retelling of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Elizabethan times gets a face-lift in this live, hip-hop filled, hilarious show. Actors sing, dance, rap and tell this classic tale through laugh-out-loud songs and loads of wild comedy. The Bomb-itty of Errors knocked critics off their feet in NYC, London, Chicago and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) sends spectators on a hilarious journey with three madcap men through all of Shakespeare's comedies, history and tragedies.
