NJPAC Welcomes The Complete World of Sports (abridged) 2/11-13

Let the games begin! Following up on their hysterical-yet-concise romps through the works of William Shakespeare, Reduced Shakespeare Company returns to NJPAC Feb. 11-13th with The Complete World of Sports (abridged). This off-the-wall sprint through the history of athletic competition will take off at the Victoria Theater February 12th and 13th.

The Complete World of Sports (abridged) will take the stage at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, February 12th and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 13th. Tickets are $39 and may be purchased by telephone at 1-888-GO-NJPAC (1-888-466-5722), by visiting the NJPAC Box Office at One Center Street in downtown Newark, or online at www.njpac.org . This performance is made possible in part by Capital One, New Jersey Council for the Arts and Discover Jersey Arts.

A hilarious, fast-paced look at America's infatuation with all things athletic, The Complete World of Sports (abridged) moves from the earliest cavemen playing "Neanderthal in the Middle" through the mysteries of curling to your own kid's soccer practice - the entire history of athletic competition regurgitated in a tour de force of physical theater.
