Odd "In Rep"

.
These two shows are being done "in Rep".  That is the cast is alternating between the two plays.
.
Now normally this is done with two shows by the same author (often Shakespeare), or two different shows about the same topic - even if they are only tenuously related - like 2 shows on different aspects of love.
.
But Macbeth - a Shakespearian tragedy - and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - a Mark Twain comedy best known from its Bing Crosby sing-along version?
.
That is some twisted "in rep" thinking.
