Prepare to lose it laughing! This three-man comedy troupe is known for taking long, serious subjects and reducing them into short, sharp comedies. In “The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged),” they bring an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's oeuvre—all 37 plays in 97 hilarious minutes. "The funniest show you’re likely to see in your entire lifetime” (Globe and Mail, Toronto).

The largest and most theatrical of the great composer/ conductor's works, Mass is a simple name for a soaring work that fills the stage with choruses, a Broadway-sized cast, an orchestra and even a rock band. Originally commissioned for the opening of The Kennedy Center in 1971, this stunning new production combines the music of Bernstein, Grammywinning pop icon Paul Simon, and Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Godspell, Wicked) in what promises to be the musical event of the year.
