RIVERVIEW - The Frenzie Life Theatre will present "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged)" at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Barn Theatre at Winthrop, 11349 W. Bloomingdale Ave.

This play was written by Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor, the same authors who created "All the Great Books" and "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare," with additional material by Matthew Croke. Michael Mercer directs 62 characters played by three local actors, Tyler Comstock, Stephen Cosgrove and Pedro Amaral, in this amusing and sometimes irreverent race from the appearance of Adam and Eve to Judgment Day.

How irreverent is it?

"I am one of five children, raised in a Southern Baptist home," said Beverly Mercer, Michael's wife and co-founder of the theater troupe. "My father was a minister of music and youth. I find the show satirical, crazy and groan-inducing fun. Three out of four of my siblings would feel the same way."

The show is not recommended for children younger than 13; children younger than 5 will not be admitted.

General admission tickets are $15. Tickets for seniors and students with identification are $10. The box office opens an hour before show time. Tickets may be placed on hold by calling The Frenzie at (813) 655-0789. Only cash and checks are accepted.
