Post5 Theatre Opens THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHEAKESPEARE [ABRIDGED] – REVISED Tonight

Post5 Theatre is bringing back one of audience and critics' favorites for the third year in a row, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [abridged] - REVISED. Featuring a new director (Cassandra Boice), new bits (because there are ALWAYS new bits), and a very warm welcome back to Post5 founding member Alex Klein, who will be returning from Los Angeles (where he has a reoccurring role on NBC's Community) to make his Post5 acting debut. To joining him on this romp through Shakespeare's canon are Company favorites Chip Sherman and Ty Boice. This iteration of Complete Works will be in-your-face and quite possibly on-your-lap, and will, of course be done FASTER!

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [abridged] - REVISED will run approximately one and one-half hours with one 15-minute intermission. The show runs Thursday-Sunday, tonight, June 5th - June 28th at 7:30PM with a special opening night gala and our 5th Season Announcement on June 7th. Tickets are $15 (Sundays are Pay-What-You-Will) and can be purchased at www.postfivetheatre.org/tickets as well as www.boxofficetickets.com.
