The Complete History of America (abridged) condenses 600+ years of American history into 90 minutes of pure comedic chaos. Whether it’s the Revolutionary War, the Wild West, or the Space Race, no era is safe from the cast’s hilarious antics. This production promises to be a rollicking good time for history buffs and comedy lovers alike. From Washington to Watergate, yea verily from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order – The Complete History of America (abridged) is a ninety-minute rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History, reminding us that it’s not the length of your history that matters – it’s what you’ve done with it! These three cultural guerillas tackle such controversial questions as: Who really discovered America? Shouldn’t there be a Bill of Wrongs as well as a Bill of Rights? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb? “History is normally written by the winners… now it’s our turn.” -Marshall Paddon’s Super Secret Syndicate CONTENT ADVISORY: This show contains comic depictions of violence, mild innuendo, bawdy language, and the occasional rude word.
