The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

Don’t miss this uproariously funny farce which attempts to deliver all of the Bard’s works in a single slapstick performance by three manic men in tights and askew wigs. Xenia Area Community Theater is hosting this fun fest at the Xenia Adult Recreation and Services Center (Senior Center) on E. Church St across from the Xenia YMCA on Saturday Mar 1 and Fri and Sat, Mar 7 & 8. Be prepared to laugh out loud and perhaps be drawn onstage as these maniacs give their whirlwind interpretation of these classics in a whole new way. Show begins at 7:30 and admission for limited seating is $12 for general admission and $10 for seniors, students, and X*ACT members. For reservations or information call (937) 372-0516 or visit XeniaAct.org
