The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will present the Reduced Shakespeare Company in Completely Hollywood (abridged) this summer.

The limited engagement will play the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater June 22-July 11, 2010. Opening night is scheduled for June 24 at 7:30 PM.

Written and directed by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor with additional material by Dominic Conti, the show will feature all three co-creators.

"America's 'bad boys of abridgement' take on America's largest cultural and economic export (well, except for weapons) in this seriously silly show biz satire," according to press notes. "They've gone biblical, they've gone historical, now the RSC has gone completely Hollywood... abridged, of course. In Completely Hollywood (abridged), America’s best-loved comedy troupe boldly goes where few would dare – Tinseltown. Completely Hollywood (abridged) analyzes in typically reduced depth the 175 greatest films from Hollywood’s over 100 year history."
