Cincinnati Shakespeare Adds Two 'COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA' Shows

By:

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company has just announced the addition of two performances to "The Complete History of America (abridged)" schedule. The critically acclaimed new production's demand was too great to be met with the original schedule so matinee performances have been added on Saturday August 8 and Sunday August 16 at 2pm. Audience members are encourage to purchase tickets soon in order to secure the best seats on their preferred date!

CityBeat said of the show: "if you need an evening of laughter, you want to be in a seat at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company for 'The Complete History of America (abridged)'. In fact, if you want to go, you apparently need to get your tickets right away. On opening night, CSC's Producing Artistic Director Brian Phillips announced that in the company's 21-year history only three shows have achieved their individual ticket sales goal before opening: 'Pride and Prejudice' (2011), 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (2012) and (drumroll, please) ... 'The Complete History of American (abridged).'"

Single ticket prices range from $22-$35 on Thursdays and Sundays and from $26-$39 on Fridays and Saturdays. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the CSC Box Office at 513.381.BARD (2273) ext. 1, or go online at www.cincyshakes.com.
