Baltimore Shakespeare Factory to Stage THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, 11/6-22

Baltimore Shakespeare Factory presents THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, opening this Friday, November 6, and running through November 22, 2015. The Shakespeare play runs Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 4pm. Musical entertainment begins 30 minutes before showtime at The Great Hall Theatre at St. Mary's, 3900 Roland Ave. (in Hampden). Ticket prices: $20 - Adults; $15 - Students/Teachers/Artists/Seniors; Free Admission for Children Grade 5 and below.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW tells the story of the unconventional romance between a lusty fortune-hunter and a feisty, sharp-tongued daughter of privilege. Every man in Padua wants to marry the beautiful Bianca, but her father will not allow her to wed until his eldest daughter, Katherina, has a husband. Too bad every man in Padua is terrified of her... that is, until Petruchio comes to town.

BSF's 2015 season closes with a bang as the two unlikely lovers battle their way to happily ever after. This is also our Actor Ensemble Experiment. We spend only five days rehearsing before opening night Friday -- and if we screw up, we want the audience to throw tomatoes (yes, literally... you can rent foam tomatoes at the box office). We're proud to be a part of Charm City Fringe Festival again this year.
