The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) to hit the Vagabond Players Stage

Alt Text

Vagabond Players continues its 107th season with the riotously funny Shakespeare mashup, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, and directed by Daniel Douek.

Egads and forsooth! Take three wild’n’crazy actors plus Shakespeare’s 37 plays, cram ‘em all into 97 minutes, and you’ll learn more about The Bard (through songs, raps, interpretative dancing and even a cooking show!) than you ever did while you were asleep in English class. The Bard would go bonkers, but you’ll have a blast at this outrageous compendium of Bill’s greatest hits. Romeo, Cleopatra, Othello, Macbeth and of course, everybody’s favorite great Dane (Hamlet, himself) — they’re all here rockin’ and rollin’ like you’ve never seen them before. Surgeon General’s Warning: Excessive viewing of this show could be injurious to your funnybone!

“If you like Shakespeare, you’ll love this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!” - The Today Show.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) opens Friday, February 17 and runs through Sunday, March 12, with weekly performances Fridays/Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Special performances include: a special Saturday matinee on March 4 at 2 p.m. and a $10 Thursdays on Broadway performance March 9 at 8 p.m.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) was originally produced by Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Neil Simon’s BROADWAY BOUND to Continue Vagabond Players 107th Season

Alt Text

Vagabond Players continues its 107th season with Neil Simon’s Tony Award-winning comedy hit, BROADWAY BOUND, the poignant and funny conclusion to Brighton Beach Memoirs presented by Vagabond Players in 2020.

The American theater’s King of Comedy brings his young alter ego, Eugene, back to Brighton Beach as he and his brother, Stanley, hilariously struggle to break into show business as comedy writers for CBS, and watch helplessly as their parents’ marriage implodes. Simon brilliantly demonstrates the art of creating a humorous situation or line, but also how even seemingly harmless jokes can have devastating consequences for the wisecrackers and the family they love.

“BROADWAY BOUND is memorable and upbeat, a play the whole family can enjoy. I left the theater happy, satisfied and grateful…” The Los Angeles Post

BROADWAY BOUND opens Friday, January 6 and runs through Sunday, January 29, with weekly performances Fridays/Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Special performances include: a special Saturday matinee on January 21 at 2 p.m. and a $10 Thursdays on Broadway performance January 26 at 8 p.m.

BROADWAY BOUND is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. - www.concordtheatricals.com
