The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg Theatre program announces its cast for the fall semester production of The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield (formerly known as the Reduced Shakespeare Company), the play presents all 37 plays of Shakespeare’s in two hours or less—guaranteed!

Originally done with only three actors, faculty director Stephen A. Schrum has cast nine student actors, promising that it will be “three times the fun of the original.”

The cast for the production is as follows: Jonathan Bliss, Danielle Brady, Brandon Ferrari, Alison James, Ashley King, Marylou Kunkle, Dave McVicker, Rachael Ruhl, and Kaitlyn Wittig.

Sound design for this production will be by Jeremy dePrisco, Bloomsburg area composer and producer. This is dePrisco's second production of Compleat Wrks, the first being with Dr. Schrum at PSU Hazleton campus in 1996. Schrum and dePrisco like to harness technology, and the Internet has played a key role in reviewing drafts of musical pieces.

Compleat Works will be performed on November 17, 18 and 19 at 8:00pm in UPG’s Ferguson Theater. Tickets (available at the door only) are $6 regular, $3 students/seniors, and $1 for UPG faculty, staff and students with current ID. For more information, contact Dr. Schrum at 724-836-7483 or by email at sas114@pitt.edu.
