Sebastiani Theatre presents the fantastically talented and hilarious REDUCED SHAKESPEARE COMPANY with their exciting new show “Completely Hollywood – Abridged” in two outstanding shows on Friday & Saturday, February 12 & 13, at 8:00 p.m. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater…the Reduced Shakespeare Company boldly goes where few would dare - Tinseltown! America’s “bad boys of abridgement” take on America’s largest cultural and economic export (well, except for weapons) in this seriously silly show biz satire. Get your clapper boards ready! The Reduced Shakespeare Company rummage through the reels and flick through the films in this riotous carnival of the classics. Giving Hollywood more than just a nip and a tuck, they cut through the celluloid to condense the 175 greatest films in Hollywood’s over-100 year history into a complete compilation of classic cinematic cliches — plus a few brand new cliches they just made up.

They’ve gone Biblical, they’ve gone historical, now the RSC has gone Completely Hollywood… abridged, of course! Lights! Camera! REDUCTION! The following are comments from their broad national and international audience:
“You’ll nearly fall out of your theater seat laughing. Spectacularly high energy… an absolute scream!” The Arizona Republic
“A hilarious and speedy take on Hollywood’s highs and lows. I loved it! An instant classic! Hurray for Hollywood, and hurray for the Reduced Shakespeare Company! One of the greatest, sustained pieces of physical comedy I have ever seen. There are brilliant pieces of comic invention. Go see. Buy tickets now.” BBC
“One of the funniest troupes in American theater today!”
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Hilarious!” London Sunday Mail

YARD DOGS ROAD SHOW AT SEBASTIANI THEATRE FEBRUARY 21 & 22

The Sebastiani Theatre welcomes the YARD DOGS ROAD SHOW for two fabulous shows on Sunday & Monday, February 21 & 22 at 7:30 p.m. The Yard Dogs lead the modern hobohemian on a visual and sonic journey through part of history that may or may not have existed -- followed by an ambitious return to the emotional challenges of this punch-drunk comtemporary world.

It is a true story on stage: sword swallowers, dancing dolls, sometimes fire eaters, and sunset hobo poetry -- all animated by the live sounds of the YARD DOGS cartoon heavy band. It's pure visual and sonic voodoo . . . and corn bread . . . children of the inbetween places like laughing monkeys eating fudgesicles, sitting in the shade and daydreaming . . . diamonds and teardrops -- this is a love letter from the bordello of your imagination. Warm your hands by the fire. Say hello and unwind before the weather turns and the little people with dinosaur mouths eat your toes and bury you clothes. Celebrate and adorn forever this rebellious time -- you are needed -- no matter what they say -- YOU are needed.

• Dates and Times:
  April 7, 2009 &
  throughout the 75th Anniversary Year!
