The Taming of the Shrew is often viewed as one of Shakespeare's more complex comedies. Some scholars believe that it's a gut-wrenching display of misogyny while others say it is what a true partnership of matching wits and maneuvers looks like. As someone firmly in the camp of the latter, it's always interesting when a theatre company, especially a new one, chooses to do this show for their season. It often takes a good directorial eye, an adept cast, and a heavy-hitting production team to put everything together in such a way that makes the show shine in a way that makes everyone leave the theatre smiling. I sat down with the show's director and Petruchio, Keath Hall, to talk about the subtle nuances of a complex show like Shrew to get a little taste before it opens and closes at the Irish Cultural Center this weekend.

Scores of scholarly papers about this have been written with experiments and scientific data that reinforce the importance of a father in their daughter's life. Sunset Baby by Dominique Morisseau explores that very theme in this production by the Black Theatre Troupe (BTT).

In 2020, it felt like the world had gone sideways and there was nothing but bullying everywhere you turned; it only seems fitting that many shows in the Valley are now performing shows dealing with the subject.
