Lar DeSouza (known as @lartist on Twitter) is the cartoonist and caricaturist who created the poster art for our last three stage shows: The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged), The Complete History of Comedy (abridged), and William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged). We talk about our shared cultural sensibilities, the power of the pop-culture mashup, the joy of participating and imagining, the things you discover when you combine cultural universes and create new contexts, the wonder of being a line junkie, horrible depictions of Santa Claus, the beauty of combining Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer with Stephen King, the value of emulating your heroes, the value of sharing on social media, and the enormous benefit of not discriminating and having no filters.

Hi Suzanne – Thanks for your interest in our work! We’ll be performing “The Complete History of Comedy (abridged)” exclusively for the next few years so the amateur licensing rights won’t be available until then. Subscribing to our newsletter or following us on Twitter or Facebook or listening to our podcast are the surest ways to find out quickly when the rights will be released. Until then, our five other scripts up to “The Complete World of Sports (abridged)” are available from Broadway Play Publishing now. Hope this helps. Many thanks again!

We have produced your “…complete Shakespeare”… and ” History of America.” The 2014-2015 (july/june) season will be our 20th. Would love to celebrate it with your latest work.. “The Complete History of Comedy.” We actually teach 6th graders about Commedia dell’Arte each year and have a contest in which they can do their favorite stock character.
The Ok Arts Council major support grant application is due Feb 1. I just saw your new play in the Nov issue of Amer. theatre mag…yes I’m a bit behind in my reading… any idea when it will be available and a script would be available???
