Opening February 13th!
The Complete History of America (abridged)
by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor
The Complete History of America (abridged) condenses 600+ years of American history into 90 minutes of pure comedic chaos. Whether it’s the Revolutionary War, the Wild West, or the Space Race, no era is safe from the cast’s hilarious antics. This production promises to be a rollicking good time for history buffs and comedy lovers alike. Newly updated for the 2024 election, this Election Edition provides the requisite historical context guaranteed to confuse any voter and make you the life of your next party – whatever party!
From Washington to Watergate, yea verily from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order – The Complete History of America (abridged) is a rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History, reminding us that it’s not the length of your history that matters – it’s what you’ve done with it!
These three cultural guerillas tackle such controversial questions as:
• Who really discovered America?
• Shouldn’t there be a Bill of Wrongs as well as a Bill of Rights?
• How many Democrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
“History is normally written by the winners… now it’s our turn.”

The Cast
Marshall Paddon’s Super Secret Syndicate
Founded in 2014, Marshall Paddon’s Super Secret Syndicate (MPSSS) is the ultimate fusion of comedy, mystery, and theatrical brilliance. Shrouded in secrecy, its members remain anonymous, their identities a carefully guarded enigma—because, as they’ve always insisted, who they are doesn’t matter. What truly matters is the shared experience of laughter, absurdity, and artistic wonder that unfolds during their performances.
Specializing in comedic performances that blend slapstick, absurdist humor, and the sharpest wit, MPSSS has taken the world by storm. Audiences find themselves transported into a world of unpredictable antics-whether it’s a show where the punchline of every joke is a ridiculous plot twist or a comedic opera that turns the stage into a carnival of chaos. One infamous production had the entire cast performing with inflatable animals, while another saw the audience tricked into thinking the show had been canceled, only to discover the performers perched on a human pyramid delivering their jokes through a giant pizza stack.
Rumors swirl about the troupe’s origins: some say it was founded by an ex-CIA agent who can juggle flaming swords, while others claim one of the members once hosted an entire comedy show using only mime. But the truth, according to MPSSS, is far less important than the laughter they create. What they want you to know is simple: forget about who’s behind the curtain. It’s the evening at the theatre —the shared moment of joy and the infectious, unpredictable hilarity-that matters most.
Agent 'The Bald Bandit' McThunderfist
Title: Chief Strategist of Overconfidence & Unnecessarily Loud Whispering
Agent McThunderfist was born with a beard so powerful it once deflected a rubberband at Mach3. A master of disguise (despite refusing to wear wigs), he is the only known operative to successfully infiltrate both a biker gang and a knitting club in the same afternoon.
His special skills include:
- Cracking walnuts with his bare hands for dramatic effect
- Staring contests that have made even statues blink
- Stealth so advanced that one time he vanished in plain sight just by standing really still
Weaknesses:
- His own reflection (because, damn, he looks good)
- Unsolicited arm-wrestling challenges
- Accidentally flexing out of his shirts mid-mission
Motto: “Baldness isn’t a choice. Being this awesome is.”
Agent 'Shadowstache' McSneaky
Title: Grandmaster of Disguises & Questionable Life Choices
Born under a full moon and raised by a council of hyper-intelligent raccoons, Agent Shadowstache has perfected the art of blending in—despite her overwhelming inability to whisper. Equipped with an arsenal of sunglasses, fake mustaches, and dramatically timed exits, she is the Marshall Paddon Organization’s top expert in looking like she belongs (even when she absolutely doesn’t).
Her legendary feats include successfully infiltrating a mime convention despite an inability to stay silent for more than three seconds and once convincing an entire boardroom that she was their new CEO—using only a clipboard and a confident nod.
Weaknesses
- Free snacks
- Accidental jazz hands during stealth missions
- Uncontrollable urge to narrate her own actions like a film noir detective
Motto: “They’ll never see me coming… unless I dramatically announce my arrival, which, let’s be honest, is kind of my thing.”
Agent 'Duchess Von Dazzle' McMysterio
Title: Supreme Commander of Charisma & Unnecessarily Dramatic Entrances
With hair that defies physics and a presence so powerful it once caused a squirrel to salute, Agent McMysterio is the Marshall Paddon Organization’s leading expert in undercover glamouflage—the ancient art of blending in while looking fabulous.
Armed with oversized sunglasses, an unshakable confidence, and a mustache so convincing it once won a poker tournament on its own, she can infiltrate any high-society gala, underground dance-off, or PTA meeting without raising suspicion.
Her specialties include:
- Bewitching entire rooms with a single eyebrow raise
- Winning arguments she wasn’t even part of
- Disappearing in a cloud of sparkles when situations get too boring
Weaknesses:
- Accidentally making dramatic wind appear whenever she enters a room
- Overestimating the sturdiness of tables before standing on them for speeches
- The undeniable pull of free samples
Motto: “I don’t just enter a room—I make it a moment.”
Agent 'The Enigma' McMumbles
Title: Senior Consultant of Vague Statements & Unsolved Mysteries
A man of few words and even fewer confirmed backstories, Agent McMumbles is rumored to have once escaped from a high-security facility using only a paperclip, a roll of duct tape, and an unwavering belief in “winging it.”
His special skills include:
- Appearing behind you without making a sound
- Answering questions with even more questions
- Knowing exactly when to leave a conversation (right before the check arrives)
Weaknesses:
- Occasionally staring into the distance as if recalling a past life
- Accidentally solving crimes while out for groceries
- The unbearable allure of dad jokes
Motto: “Did I do that? Maybe. Maybe not. Who’s to say?”
Content Advisory:
