The New York hit makes its regional premiere in Lincoln! Look out evil villains, there is a new super musical coming to the stage! Created by Justin Moran of the People's Improv Theatre in Manhattan, this show became an internet sensation when Mr. Moran laid the smackdown to that other web-slinging musical proving that a show could be done for far less than $65 million and focus on the story, characters and music. The result was a brilliant parody production that opened to rave reviews and no unintentional injuries.

A COMEDY OF ERRORS
By William Shakespeare
Thursday, March 1 - 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 4 - 3:00 p.m.
Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound.
Consistently recognised by strangers, the visitors question their very selves as the turmoil escalates. Meanwhile, Aegeon, father to the Antipholus twins, has been captured searching for his sons and, as an illegal immigrant, is sentenced to death at sunset. Shakespeare's furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time. Lenny Henry plays Antipholus of Syracuse.
