Wego Drama at West Chicago Community High School begins their 2017-18 season with an amazing comedy “The Complete History of America (Abridged)”. Performances are September 7, 8 and 9, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.

This satirical look at our society is a fast-paced romp from the founding of America to today. It is intended for high school and adult audiences, answering the question, “How did Americans get to be who we are today?”

Ricky Gieser, Wego Drama’s President states, “This production is fun!  I can’t stop laughing.  I can say this for sure; history is not boring.”

Ken Correa continues, “The idea of transforming is really cool.  Rehearsals have been history lessons that break into laughter as we put the satirical spin on the last 400 years.”

Neve Ryan concludes, “I think our audiences will enjoy the wit and fun of it. We all play a whole range of characters, so it is a constant surprise to our audience.”

“The Complete History of America (Abridged)” will run for three performances on September 7, 8, and 9 at 7:00 p.m. at West Chicago Community High School, 326 Joliet Street, West Chicago IL 60185. Tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults and are available at wegotheatre.com or at the door.
