'The Other Shepherds Play' opens at Theatre Conspiracy

COURTESY PHOTO "The Other Shepherd's Play" runs Dec. 17 through Dec. 20 at Theatre Conspiracy in Fort Myers. Theatre Conspiracy presents "The Other Shepherds Play" Dec. 1 7 through 20 at 8 p.m.

In the tradition of "Spamalot," this parody, penned by local playwright John Repa, sends up both modern and historic assumptions about the Nativity and also questions what happened and who knew what when. Based on the historic "Second Shepherds Play" (from the 14th century) this retelling incorporates what British comedy has become over the last 700 years: classic songs with parody lyrics, men in drag roles, women in scanty outfits, and lots of innuendo.

Tickets are $15 or $10 for students. For reservations or more information, call Theatre Conspiracy's box office at 936- 3239 or visit www.theatreconspiracy. org.

Theatre Conspiracy is located at 2711 Park Windsor Dr. off Evans Avenue, one-quarter of a mile north of Southwest Regional Medical Center.
