Sacramento, CA -April 23, 2009 - Capital Stage will bring 600 years of American history to the stage when "The Complete History of America (abridged)" opens on Friday, May 15, 2009.
Cast members Eric Wheeler, Gary Martinez and Jonathan Rhys Williams return to Capital Stage to take audiences on a rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History. Who really discovered America? Why did Abe Lincoln free the slaves? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? History has never been this much fun. Or as delightfully, ridiculously mutilated as in the hands of Eric, Gary and Jonathan, covering 600 years of our nation's history in under two hours in this irreverent send-up!
