    Reduced Shakespeare Company The Complete World of Sports (abridged) Presented in partnership with L Style G Style Join Texas Performing Arts for an evening of laugh-out-loud, original theatre. The Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC) is renowned for taking long, serious subjects and reducing them to short, sharp comedies. Since its 1981 origins as a pass-the-hat act in California, RSC has created six stage shows, several TV programs, and numerous radio pieces—all of which have been performed, seen, and heard the world over. RSC brings a brand-new championship comedy, The Complete World of Sports (abridged) to the B. Iden Payne Theatre stage. This hysterical evening sprints through the world of sports at record-breaking speed. From the earliest cavemen playing “Neanderthal in the Middle” to your own kid’s soccer practice, the history of athletic competition is regurgitated in a Tour de France of physical theater, at a level of sophistication and pathos that only the RSC can muster. It’s a marathon of madness and mayhem as the world’s great sporting events are shrunk to theatrical size. “Slick, intelligent, altogether hilarious!” IRISH TIMES, DUBLIN “…Intellectual vaudeville…they are smart, cheeky clowns who present themselves as a collective repository for most of American mass culture.” NEW YORK TIMES
