LAKEPORT — With the new school year quickly approaching, it will soon be time to start hitting the books again. This is why the Soper-Reese Community Theatre is bringing you the Lake County premi?re of “All The Great Books (Abridged),” presented at 2 p.m. Aug. 30 by the same company that brought us the “Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)” last year.
These three very talented, energetic young men present, spoof, laugh and cry through the most famous books of all time. They interpret the classic volumes that you should have read in high school … but probably were afraid to try.
Think of it as the “Mother of all Cliff Notes,” the kids in the back row of the English class meeting Monty Python. It”s a grand dusting off of the school”s library shelves. This wild 90-minute roller coaster of physical and mental comedy is bound to have you laughing the entire time.
The show is at 2 p.m. Aug. 30. Be sure to get your tickets as soon as you can. Last year”s performance was a near sellout. Tickets for “All The Great Books (Abridged),” are available for $15 at the Soper-Reese box office, open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays. They will also be for sale before the performance. If you need more information about this show or any of our coming shows, please call the theater at 263-0577.
