Spotlight Players Community Theater, Inc is excited to present the 
record breaking comedy hit by the Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess 
Winfield, */The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)! /*This 
production features all of William Shakespeare’s 37 plays in 97 Minutes! 
This comedy will be presented March 2, and 3 at 8:00 pm at the Columbia 
High School Auditorium, 92 Luther Road, East Greenbush, NY, 12061.

The show stars three of the Capital District’s leading comedic community 
theater actors -- Adam Coons, Eric Shovah and Brian Sheldon-- who take 
turns portraying every single role from all of Shakespeare’s plays. An 
irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, */The Complete 
Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),/* has been called "wildly 
funny", and "the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire 
lifetime" and “just plain funny” and “my god so funny”. The audience 
will be treated to segments from */Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear 
and A Midsummer’s Night Dream /*to name a few.

Spotlight Players is under the auspices of the East Greenbush Central 
School District Department of Continuing Education. The organization 
recently elected a new board, comprised of local residents, Ferne Dutkin 
(President), Michael Mensching (Vice President), Joanne Peal (Secretary) 
and Michael McDermott (Treasurer). Members at large include Joanne 
Mensching, Ric Bello, Shawn Hahn, Doug Porter and Ginnie Austin. The new 
board is committed to rapidly expanding the offerings of the 
organization and broadening the role that theater plays in the local 
community. This production is indicative of the quality that the 
organization hopes to bring to local community entertainment options.

Future productions will include the crowd pleasing Gilbert and 
Sullivan’s, /*The Pirates of Penzance*, /coming July 12—14, directed by 
Michael Mensching, and featuring an innovative musical direction with 
some of the actors serving as the musical accompaniment. Just two week 
later the troop will produce the hilarious, /*Nunsense*/, by Dan Goggin, 
a deliciously offbeat take on the travails of a group of singing “sisters”.

Tickets for */The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged/) *are 
$10 and can be purchased at the door or by calling 229-4779. This 
production is best appreciated by audiences 13 years old or older, due 
to the mature -- and rather bawdy -- subject matter being presented.

*Warning!: This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of 
all of Shakespeare's plays, and is not recommended for people with heart 
ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or people inclined 
to motion sickness. We simply cannot be held responsible for expectant 
mothers or the faint of heart!*
