The Complete History of America (abridged)August 23-25, 30, 31 &September 1, 2019 comedy |
600 years of history in 6000 seconds… history will never be the same! From Washington to Watergate, New World to New World Order, “The Complete History of America (abridged)” is a rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History. Dozens of landmark events and trends are mined for comic gold and are given an irreverent boost and turned it into something accessible and alive. Breathlessly paced sequences of silly vaudeville sketches, word-association games, puns and crude parodies of movie and television genres are presented with lightning speed. A slapstick tour that’s as hysterical as it is historical. | |
