By Adam Long, Reed Martin & Austin Tichenor
Who really discovered America? Why did Abe Lincoln free the slaves? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? From the writers who brought us the 2005 Barnstormer hit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor, bring us 600 years of history in 6,000 seconds! Under the direction of Igor Goldin, this play is a must for fans of American politics, history, sharp humor, slapstick and wonderful, talented acting. From Washington to Watergate, from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order, watch as the same trio of actors from The Complete Works (Doug Shapiro, Justin Wilcox and Billy Butler) take you on a ninety-minute roller coaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History. Every few minutes, the scene and characters change into the next step on the time line. Columbus to Vaudeville, Lewis and Clark to George Washington, Native American folklore to the '60s and the sexual revolution to the storming of Normandy; it's all here, and it's all done with a frenetic pace and tons of hilarious lines and slapstick. Covering current events fresh from today’s newspapers, this a truly up-to-the-minute and interactive theatrical experience!
