The show darts from satire to silliness to sophisticated irreverence." -Ed Siegel, Boston Globe "Witty and wacky." -Veronica Lee, London Sunday Telegraph

During the manic, ninety-minute program... they] mine dozens of landmark events and trends for comic gold... Not only do they know how to give American history an irreverent boost, they actually turn it into something accessible and alive." Pamela Sommers, The Washington Post ..".THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA interprets the past as a breathlessly paced sequence of silly vaudeville sketches,...

In this merciless but affectionate satire, The Reduced Shakespeare company sets its comic sights on the lunacy of sports. The result is a tour-de-farce of vaudevillian physical comedy that will delight every non-sports fan in the family.

An affectionate, irreverent roller-coaster ride from fig leaves to Final Judgment, tackling the great theological questions: Did Adam and Eve have navels? Did Moses really look like Charlton Heston?
