You'll see 37 plays in 97 minutes, and laugh out-loud the entire evening."
This is the promise being made by Rose Marie Sand as Shine Productions proudly anounces its return to Rocky & Carlo's Sicilian Room in Chalmette with the hilarious, irreverent "Compleat Works of Shakespeare, Abridged."
Sand, the producer of the show, said that everyone is excited to bring the production back to Chalmette.
"For many people, this is the funniest night you'll ever have in theatre, or at the Sicilian Room," she said.
The show appeals to audiences of all ages and has also received critical acclaim. Al Shea of WYES television's "Steppin' Out," reported
"In less than two hours, three young and super energetic clowns, Christian Bordelon, Barry A. Lemoine, and William Schneider, take us on a whirlwind jaunt through many of the Bard's great works. It is all performed like a speeding bullet, with the boys playing all of the parts, falling over each other to enter and exit with and without wigs and funny hats....Reminiscent of the Three Stooges, the audience loves their silly shenanigans and laughed out loud from start to finish."
Director Barry Lemoine, often called "The Bard of St. Bernard," claims that the show is a roller coaster ride of comedy and a frenzied romp of irreverence.
"My favorite thing about this show is the chemistry with Will and Chris. It's always fresh, and funny and we always make the humor local and topical. I think the audiences feed off of that, " Lemoine said.
Theatre Critic Patrick Shannon of the Crescent City Chronicles agrees.
"This kind of comedy takes a specially gifted kind of actor and director and that's what we get in this production with director Barry A. Lemoine. This explosive high octane physical comedy and mercurial stage presence could be compared to the Marx Brothers and/or The Three Stooges, " Shannon said.
The show will open on Friday, April 4, and continue its run with shows on April 5, 11th and 12th, at 8:30 pm. Ticket costs are $15 for the show only, and $30 for the show with selected menus from the famed Chalmette eatery. A cash bar will be available. Call Sand at 504.666.1220 for ticket information.
So, whether you love Shakespeare, hate Shakespeare, or don't know Shakespeare from Shine-ola, bring some friends, eat at Rocky's, and laugh all night with St. Bernard's own, Three Stooges.
