THOUSAND OAKS, CA - California Lutheran University students will present “The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)” Oct. 13 through 16.

Performances of the zany romp through the Old and New Testaments will be at 8 p.m. Oct. 13, 14 and 15 and 2 p.m. Oct. 16 in the Black Box Studio Theatre.

Developed by The Reduced Shakespeare Company, the play features puns, silly songs and irreverent (but not blasphemous) humor. The production flies at breakneck speed and is sure to cause laughter of biblical proportions. The roller coast ride from fig leaves to final judgment tackles such great theological questions as “Did Adam and Eve have navels?,” “Did Moses really look like Charlton Heston?” and “Why isn’t the word phonetic spelled the way it sounds?” Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor wrote the play and Matthew Croke provided additional material.

Martin Gonzalez, a junior theatre arts major from Hesperia, is directing the production. The five-person cast, which portrays 62 characters, features the following: Will Cowles Meyer, a freshman from Spokane, Wash., who has not declared a major; Ally Crocker, a junior theatre arts major from San Diego; Bryana Gable, a junior music major from Fremont; Erik Groth, a junior music major from Newbury Park; and Cooper Smith, a freshman liberal studies major from Trabuco Canyon.

The Black Box Studio Theatre is located in the Theatre Arts Building on the north side of Memorial Parkway near Pioneer Avenue on the Thousand Oaks campus.

Admission is free. For more information, call the Theatre Arts Department at 805-493-3415.
