Don't touch that dial! Join us as one of Shakespeare's most controversial shows is transformed into a 1950s sitcom. Our hero Petruchio is new in town- and that pesky independent Katherina is about to become his good obedient housewife, whether she likes it or not. This production digs into the comedic convention of "punching down" at those with lesser societal power, and the contrast between the play's dark subject matter and its comedic style. If you've ever loved, hated, or wrinkled your nose in tenth grade English class at The Taming of the Shrew, this play is for you.
The cast will feature Anushka Savale, Ian Hubbard, Dylan Morin, Juliette Charles, Lisa LaGrande, and Judith Shakespeare. The creative team includes Hannah Marie Pederson, Katie Lavelle, Angie Etwarroo, Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Sarah Jack, Maren Dahl, and Sean Coffey.
