The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged

Picture
Click Here
May 17 - June 2, 2013

Producer: Rick Pitonyak  Director:  Timothy LaBelle

Picture
(Adult Comedy)  A madcap condensation that features non-stop  laughs. Complete Works features all 37 iconic plays, and the sonnets, in less  than 2 hours. Shakespeare’s works have been reduced to the most primitive  essentials, leaving audiences with nothing but the cold, hard facts. There is no  doubt that William Shakespeare himself…would approve. Not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders, inclined to motion sickness and/or English degrees. For everyone else, this high-speed parody will leave you a Shakespearean-(idiot)-savant!
(**Adult themes and content - not appropriate for children under 13)
Lehi Sanchez, Bradley Silvestro, Tom Charnock, Dav Timmermann, Carlton Silvestro and Joseph McCaughtry will perform in different combinations for the nine performances. So every night is a new experience!   
Fri 5/17 - Dav, Carlton, Lehi  Sat 5/18 - Tom, Joe, Brad  Sun 5/19 - Tom, Joe, Lehi
Fri 5/24 - Dav, Joe, Brad Sat 5/25 - Dav, Carlton, Brad Sun 5/26 - Tom, Carlton, Lehi

It was in the days following the Second World War, when a weary America turned its eyes toward rebuilding. The residents of the small but history laden town of Port Tobacco had only to look across their small town square, at the burned rubble of their once proud courthouse, to decide what had to be done. In the winter of 1947, in the drawing room of Stagg Hall, a plan was conceived to raise money to aid the Port Tobacco Restoration Society return their town to glory. This group of artists from Port Tobacco and nearby La Plata set out to bring to the stage entertainment that would provide enough profit to continue their endeavor and provide for their cause. PTP spent the next twenty or so years performing in high school auditoriums, court rooms, village greens... wherever anyone wanted to see a play. Their efforts paid off and the courthouse was restored.

In 1974 a permanent home was found - a 1940's movie theater owned by a local pharmacist was the ideal spot to begin a new era. From those days, we have evolved into what we are today: a cultural staple in Charles County's historic landscape.  Today PTP performs six shows per season on our recently renovated main stage in downtown La Plata and also performs countless road productions with their Encore and Encore Kids touring companies. The Port Tobacco Players are dedicated to continuing the tradition of providing quality theater to the citizens of Southern Maryland.
