Its work has appeared at venues including the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center and London’s West End, as well as theatres and civic and university venues across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe.

The troupe’s repertoire takes a comic look at Shakespeare, literature, history, sports, Hollywood, Christmas and more. Productions include The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Bible (abridged), All the Great Books (abridged) and The Complete History of Comedy (abridged). The company tours its shows and publishes books related to several productions, including Reduced Shakespeare: The Complete Guide for the Attention-Impaired (abridged).
