Dragon Productions Theatre Company Adds Second Performance of THE TAMING On Inauguration Night
By: BWW News Desk
Bay Area playwright, Lauren Gunderson, one of the most produced playwrights in 2015-2016, has invited artists to stage a reading of her play The Taming on Inauguration Day 2017 for free as a fundraiser.
Of the script, Ms Gunderson says, "In 2013 I wrote The Taming, an all-female political farce for Crowded Fire Theatre to unpack the deep frustration of a divided and obstructionist patriarchy, to laugh with the painful truth about extremism on both sides, to toy with our country's history and wrestle with its foundational imperfections, and to make manifest a dream of reason and understanding prevailing in America." On Friday, January 20th Dragon Productions Theatre Company will be producing a staged reading of The Taming with some help from some Bay Area artists. You can reserve a seat for $25 and it comes with a glass of Nasty Woman cocktail (if you're age 21+), otherwise you can try your luck the night of the performance where it will be pay what you will in cash at the door. Wear a pantsuit, a Nasty Woman/Bad Hombre t-shirt, or other festive inauguration apparel and join us for the party! Bring your wallet to bid on a Revolutionary Raffle Basket full of fun prizes!
