Connecting people with the arts to strengthen our communities

William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew

The battle of the sexes just got a whole lot louder.

Forget the dusty, "polite" Shakespeare. We’re tearing up the script with a production of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW that’s fast, funny, and fierce. We’re exploring the madness of love, the necessity of play, and the psychological liberation of the iconic Kate and Petruchio.
