Cincy Shakes Closes Out The Comedy of Errors
For the final weekend of its run, The Bard’s famous farce—a tale of two sets of identical twins separated at birth—gets a golden-age-of-Vegas twist with wise guys, showgirls, rat packs, and other whimsical characters. The production features vintage neon signs provided by the American Sign Museum to give it a true Sin City feel.
