Last spring, Jennifer King directed a production of “All the Great Books (Abridged)” at Sebastopol’s Sonoma County Repertory Theater that had audiences howling with laughter.

If you missed it, don’t worry. You’re getting a second chance.

Long a mainstay at the Rep, King is also artistic director at Napa Valley College, and she’s bringing back the show for a reprise on campus, with the same cast.

The premise is a variation on a nightmare familiar to most of us: you’re in a makeup class for world literature, required for graduation. And graduation is two hours from now.

The only tutors available to help you cram for the last-minute lit exam are, from left above, the Student Teacher (Keith Baker), the Coach (Dodds Delzell) and the lofty Professor (Chad Yarish).

A quick recap from last May’s review — abridged, of course:

“In a John Madden-style chalk talk, the Coach breaks down the action in Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women.’ When the girl’s father enters the Civil War, Coach observes, ‘He was signed by the Yankees.’

“The Prof talks over everyone’s heads, but the Student Teacher isn’t daunted by his superior’s vocabulary. ‘I’m not celibate,’ the apprentice educator retorts. ‘My parents were married.’

“Pop culture allusions mingle with fractured literature. ‘Into the Valley of the Dolls rode the 600,’ one of the book manglers recites. (Tennyson’s ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ was never lighter.)”

The show was written by Austin Tichenor and Sonoma’s Reed Martin, resident mad geniuses of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, famed for reducing all of the Bard’s work to a single evening’s entertainment.

The Napa Valley College performances of the show will be at 8 p.m. Sept. 11-12 and 18-19, with matinees at 2 p.m. Sept. 13 and 20. $10-$15. 259-8077.
