July 2-20 – THE TAMING OF THE SHREW by William Shakespeare
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
by William Shakespeare
Nothing’s tame about this Shrew! Not when an adventurous rogue desperately needs a fortune, but his only choice is to wed a wild-eyed virago; a willful beauty works like a slave, but her devilishly angelic sister gets all the credit; a ridiculous, but wealthy, old man struggles to marry the luscious daughter of the town’s beleaguered leading merchant; a teasing minx toys over choosing just one of oh-so-many delectable men; and a lovesick youth is forced to masquerade as someone else to get a girl to fall in love with him. It’s enough to drive you mad with glee!
Shakespeare’s irresistible romp is a riotous, passionate and tender tale that turns the battle of the sexes into rip-roaring good fun. "The Taming of the Shrew" is sure to scream, fight, and woo its way into your heart, July 2008!
The Taming of the Shrew will run July 2-20 at 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday and 2pm Sunday.

Will Omelet be avenged for the murder of his father? Will Fortunabass win the war over the back
parking lot? Will Candius stop making hideous donut recipes? Find out as our hero learns it's not always easy being the Prince of Danish.
