Tuesday, November 17 – 7:00 p.m. SOLD OUT
Wednesday, November 18 – 2:00 p.m.

Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, The Taming of the Shrew introduces one of theatre’s great screwball double-acts, a couple hell-bent on confusing and outwitting each other right up to the play’s equivocal and controversial conclusion.

Two wealthy sisters in Padua are to be married. The modest, demure Bianca has no shortage of suitors, but who on earth will take the wild, ungovernable, ‘shrewish’ Katherina? Perhaps the gold-digging Petruchio, as maddeningly strong-willed as Katherina herself, will be equal to the task of getting her to the altar.
