This is why The Soper-Reese is bringing you the Lake County première of “All The Great Books (Abridged),” presented this Sunday, Aug. 30, by the same company that brought the community the “Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)” last year.

These three very talented, energetic young men present, spoof, laugh and cry through the most famous books of all time. They interpret the classic volumes that you should have read in high school ... but probably were afraid to try.

Think of it as the “Mother of all Cliff Notes,” the kids in the back row of the English class meeting Monty Python. It’s a grand dusting off of the school’s library shelves.

This wild 90-minute roller coaster of physical and mental comedy is bound to have you laughing the entire time.

The show is on at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, and be sure to get your tickets as soon as you can. Last year’s performance was a near sellout.

Tickets for “All The Great Books (Abridged)” are available at the Soper-Reese box office, 275 S. Main St., which is open Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. They will also be for sale before the performance.

Tickets cost $15 for all seat, which are first-come, first-served.

If you need more information about this show or other upcoming shows, please call the theater at 707-263-0577.

Bert Hutt is the artistic director for the Soper-Reese Community Theatre.
