It starred Joe Sofranko, Lili Fuller, Kevin Quinn, Vicki Lewis, Chase Williamson, Ben Sidell, Lizzie Fabie, Alex Skinner, Michael Keenan, Laurie O'Brien, Daniel Montgomery, Robert Merrill, Jason Greene and Jessica Pennington.[1] The series aired on Hulu and is available to Hulu Plus subscribers. The series premiered on Hulu on William Shakespeare's 450th birthday.[2] The competition is modeled after the English-Speaking Union's National Shakespeare Competition, won by Sofranko in 2004.[3]

Plot

Complete Works is a half-hour comedy series set in the world of a collegiate Shakespeare competition. Hal, a naive Midwesterner attending community college, has been obsessed with Shakespeare since his Henry the Fourth birthday party. Winning the American Shakespeare Competition could pull him out of his boring life and give him the performing career he's always dreamed of. The only problem: he's never done an arts competition before. As he deals with the crazy challenges and the challenging crazies, Hal discovers that the road to victory is often paved with douchebag-ery.[5]
