Local players bring American history, Shakespeare comedies to life

Something has been missing at the El Morro Theatre for some time – theatrical plays that is, featuring local actors.

This weekend the El Morro presents an encore presentation of “The Complete History of America (Abridged).” It’s not that the players can capture 241 years into a short hour or so, but they must make every minute count, punching up the level of comedic timing and delivery.

And tickets are only $5. There will be a performance at ArtsCrawl 7 pm on May 13. Bring the family. Kids 12 and under get in free.

For fans of the Bard in Gallup who have been waiting for this day to come, you can’t miss “The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged).” It’s a fun show, with the addition of some modern twists as the frenzied players run through Shakespeare’s plays.

Tickets are $5, and the performances take place at 7 pm May 12; 5 pm May 13; 2 pm and 6:30 pm May 14. Children 12 and under get in free.
