Reduced Shakespeare Company presents ‘abridged’ Christmas show
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The fruitcakes of the Reduced Shakespeare Company want to take you on an irreverent but heartwarming trip through the holidays when they visit Johnson County Community College on Saturday, Dec. 5.
The three zany characters that make up the troupe will present “The Ultimate Christmas Show (Abridged)” at 8 p.m. in Carlsen Center’s Yardley Hall. Tickets are $42 and $32. You can buy them through the JCCC Box Office at 913-469-4445 or online. For information on other upcoming shows in the JCCC Performing Arts Series, visit www.jccc.edu/TheSeries.
“If you like vaudeville or stand-up comedy, you’ll love Reduced Shakespeare,” said Emily Behrmann, general manager of the JCCC Performing Arts Series.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies. The “Bad Boys of Abridgment” have created nine stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots and numerous radio pieces – all of which have been performed, seen, and heard the world over.
Let the Christmas show by these Three Wise Guys rekindle the joy, inner-child and familial dysfunction inside us all!
