Katherine, known throughout Padua as “Kate the Curst” due to her shrewish nature, must be married before her younger sister, Bianca, can select one of her many suitors. When Petruchio comes to town, it seems like a perfect match – he’s just as head-strong, temperamental and obstinate as Kate herself. Come unto the taming school to see these two strong characters fight for power over each other and their world. Full of high-jinks, physical comedy, hidden identity and romance, The Taming of the Shrew is not one to be missed!

“I could not have asked for a better cast. They bring creativity, talent, intelligence and humor to every rehearsal, which is essential to creating truly great Shakespeare.”
