Cincinnati Shakespeare Kicks Off 2015-16 Season with THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA (ABRIDGED) Today

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company begins its 2015-2016 season with the hilarious "The Complete History of America (abridged)" by Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor playing today, July 24- August 15, 2015. This production is directed by CSC Producing Artistic Associate, Jeremy Dubin and features Cincinnati Shakespeare Resident Ensemble members Miranda McGee, Justin McCombs and Geoffrey Barnes! The costume design is generously sponsored by Johnson Investment Council.

The brilliant (and deranged) minds that reduced all of 38 of Shakespeare's plays into one madcap evening of theater do it again, this time reducing centuries of American history! In "The Complete History of America (abridged)" watch as three actors, who may or may not have passed their high school History class, take you on a whirlwind historical tour sending up many of our nation's greatest hits and misses. Audiences raved about the hilarious "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" and are sure to rave again as we lovingly lampoon the land of liberty.

Performances of "The Complete History of America (abridged)" are scheduled from July 24-August 15, 2015 on Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. There is no performances on Sunday July 26. Preview performances are on Wednesday July 22 and Thursday July 23 at 7:30pm and tickets are $25.

The theater is located at 719 Race Street, downtown Cincinnati, two blocks west of the Aronoff Center. Single ticket prices range from $22-$35 on Thursdays and Sundays and from $26-$39 on Fridays and Saturdays. Previews on July 22 and 23 for $25. If available, $14 student rush tickets may be purchased 30 minutes before a show with a valid student ID. Visa, Discover, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted. Ticketing fees may apply.
