We’re excited for you to come see this ultimate “glow-up” and join us for The Complete History of America (Abridged) later this month!

Nearly three months after a water pipe burst outside of Prima Theatre and damaged its performance space, the venue has been restored and rehearsals have started for its next production.

Important update regarding The Complete History of America (Abridged):
Due to the rapidly changing state of America, the script will now be updated before every performance to include whatever happened that afternoon.

That means no two shows will be the same.
And frankly, no one involved is emotionally prepared.

The stage is set
and rehearsals are underway.

The theater is full of LAUGHTER!

The Complete History of America (Abridged) opens in less than 20 days.

No history class homework.
No partisan politics.
Just big laughs. Live!

What do Jeopardy!, Taco Bell, Ponce de León, and Thaddeus Stevens have in common?
They all made history this week in America. And honestly, that feels appropriately unhinged.

The Complete History of America (Abridged)
A little chaotic. Slightly absurd. 100% American.
April 17 – May 3

What do a giant fish, an accordion, toy binoculars, and an inflatable globe have in common?

They’re all part of the beautifully absurd world of The Complete History of America (Abridged).

In honor of World Theatre Day, here’s a little behind-the-scenes peek at the props beginning to gather for the show. Because sometimes history is best told with a little chaos.

New life. New energy. A fresh beginning at Prima.

Grateful to return. Even more excited for what’s about to be shared.

Come see what’s blooming.

This week in American history (abridged)…

A future president enters the story.
New York throws its first St. Patrick’s Day parade.
Fred Rogers is born (and kindness gets a champion).
And somewhere in San Francisco… the very first tweet is sent.

Different centuries. Same ongoing experiment.
