The Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre presents the regional premiere of two hit comedies from the Reduced Shakespeare Company. On Thursday, May 17 and Friday, May 18 at 7:30 PM they will present The Complete History of Sports (abridged). On Saturday, May 19 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, May 20 at 1:30 PM they will present Completely Hollywood (abridged).The Complete World of Sports (abridged) is Written and Directed by ReEd Martin & Austin Tichenor.

Two shows only on Thursday, May 17 at 7:30 pm and Friday, May 18 at 7:30 pm.

In this merciless but affectionate satire, The Reduced Shakespeare company sets it comic sites on the lunacy of sports. The result is a tour-de-farce of vaudevillian physical comedy that will delight every non-sports fan in the family.

"The Complete World of Sports (abridged)" is an audience-interactive, family-friendly show for all ages. The bad boys of abridgement are back! So Get Ready! Get Set! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Completely Hollywood (abridged) is Written by ReEd Martin & Austin Tichenor with Additional Material by Dominic Conti.

Two shows only on Saturday, May 19 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, May 20 at 1:30 pm.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater...the Reduced Shakespeare Company boldly goes where few would dare -Tinseltown! America's "bad boys of abridgement" take on America's largest cultural and economic export (well, except for weapons) in this seriously silly show biz satire. Get your clapper boards ready!

The RSC rummage through the reels and flick through the films in this riotous carnival of the classics. Giving Hollywood more than just a nip and a tuck, they cut through the celluloid to condense the 186 greatest films in Hollywood's over-100 year history into a complete compilation of classic cinematic cliches - plus a few brand new cliches they just made up.
They've gone Biblical, they've gone historical, now the RSC has gone Completely Hollywood... abridged, of course! Lights! Camera! REDUCTION!
