Starting Wednesday, June 13, 10:30 a.m. performances will begin at the Cooper House in Socastee on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (except June 15) through June 29. The Cooper House is located at 6011 Dick Pond Road in Myrtle Beach the performance will be in the Event Center building on the property. The individual ticket price is $10.

The Complete History of America (abridged): Special Election Year Edition, which is appropriate for those age twelve and older, runs July 17 through August 3, 2012.  The play will run Tuesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m. for three weeks ending on August 3. Ticket prices will range from $27.50 - $17.50.

Both productions are being directed by Atlantic Stage company member Kris Rau McIntyre, who is coaching the group's first Summer Intern Company comprised of over a dozen college theatre majors.

"We're very proud to be able to offer this professional experience to so many young theatre artists", says McIntyre. "While they are learning to function within a professional theatre company system, we have also identified individualized goals for each of them to aid in the growth of each intern's individual artistic process."
