With more than 30 classic seventies floor-fillers, this show celebrates the decade that brought us flared trousers, platform shoes and more glitter than Liberace. A show for all the family, whether it’s your first experience of the 1970s or you were there when it all began.

Don’t miss this rockin’ collection of original songs in the style of 50s hits.

The Compleate Workds of [abridged] William Shakespeare

Gaede Stage / Comedy / PG

All 37 plays in 97 minutes—an irreverent, fast-paced romp through all of the Bard’s plays! Join a trio of madcap men in tights as they weave their wicked way through Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in a wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
