THE BIBLE: The Complete Word Of God (Abridged) Plays At OTC 5/15-6/7

Referred to as an "irreverent roller coaster ride" by The Reduced Shakespeare Company, The Bible is a hilarious jaunt through the most well known biblical tales. Each member of the three-person cast dons many hats to bring to life the multitude of characters in this vibrant musical comedy. The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged) is an energetic and hysterical compilation that asks the important theological questions: "Did Adam and Eve have navels? Did Moses really look like Charlton Heston? And why isn't the word "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?"

The Bible will be directed by OTC company member Ron Keaton, who returns to directing after a 10 year hiatus. Keaton has worked under several guises at many Chicago venues including Goodman Theatre, Marriott Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Apple Tree Theatre, Drury Lane, and Theatre Wit, among others. As a performer, Keaton was recently seen in OTC's Cyrano: Translated at Theatre Building Chicago. The cast features Michael Herschberg, Lindsey E. Pearlman, and Chase McCurdy, with musical accompaniment by Joanna P. Lind.
