The comedy specialists at the Reduced Shakespeare Company aim to score big laughs with their latest show, a neo-vaudevillian revue that parodies professional and not-so-professional sports. From football to baseball, Quidditch to curling, and Wide World of Sports to ESPN and beyond, nothing is sacred for this farcical band of merry players, who lead audiences through a shortened version of the entire history of organized play.

The Shakespeare Company has great productions. This was the third one which we have attended. The attendance that night was ridiculously low. There were other events in downtown that night, but they were free. Maybe the general public is just not aware (enough) of this company. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Written on Jul 01 2011

The Complete World of Sports (abridged)
by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor
Just in time for Father's Day comes The Complete World of Sports (abridged). Is bowling really a sport? What about poker or competitive eating? Who invented curling and synchronized swimming and why in the world are they in the Olympics? From the earliest cavemen playing “Neanderthal in the Middle” to your own kid’s soccer practice, the lunacy of sports collides with lunatic wit in a tour-de-farce of physical theatre.
