ONE DEAD PLAYWRIGHT - THREE LIVE ACTORS!
 
“THE COMPLETE WORKS OF
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged)”
July 13 – August 11, 2007
by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield
OnStage Playhouse in Chula Vista proud to have the irreverent and hilarious comedy “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” as its 2007-08 season opener. 
Daniel Zisko, who directed and starred in last season’s critical success, “The Graduate”, will helm this production.  Serving as the show’s Producer will be longtime OnStage Playhouse Board of Directors member, Bob Christiansen.
Three actors will cram all thirty-seven of William Shakespeare’s plays into ninety minutes of pure comedy and have the Bard rolling in his grave.  “Othello” in rap, Shakespeare’s history plays as a football game and “Hamlet” forward, backwards and sideways! 
Brian P. Evans, Nathan Plummer, and Desmond Hassing will share the task of skewering Shakespeare’s works.  Brian comes straight off of our last show, “Cabaret”, to exercise his funny bone, Nathan has another chance to demonstrate his proclivity for creating many memorable characters, as he did in “The Graduate”.  And Desmond will be treading OnStage’s boards for the very first time.
Perfect for everyone from 9-99, join OnStage Playhouse as Shakespeare’s genius is sliced, diced and served up piping hot with a side of ridiculous.
Ticket prices are $15.00 general admission, $13.00 students/seniors/militarySpecial rates are available for groups of ten or more by contacting Betsy Keller via the theatre information listed below.  Curtain times are Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm.  The production is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing.
